Remember Sweater Fox? The fox who allegedly bit people and stole someone's sweater in Charlottesville, Virginia, in 2009? Well, there's a fox in Northern Virginia trying to surpass those shenanigans.

Frank Kohn’s newspaper disappeared several days in a row in mid-June, and he immediately suspected an animal was involved, he said. Kohn is a wildlife biologist and spent almost two decades working at the National Zoo.
He moved a wildlife camera to the front yard and said he has been capturing a fox, sometimes two foxes, stealing or pursuing his newspaper almost every morning.
