Norwegian teenager Lars Andreas Bjercke downloaded an intriguing app that imitates the sounds of rabbits, in order to attract foxes. It worked very well. After several nights of circling the yard where the phone was left, a fox took the phone and ran off! The theft was captured on video. But the story gets even better.
Lars the later called the phone and, surprisingly, the fox answered.
"There was a crackling sound and some noise," Lars told Verdens Gang.
The next day, Lars's friend wondered why he had sent him the odd text message. The message was in strange letters and numbers. Lars knew that the sender was the fox.
"I FRY o a0ab 34348tu åaugjoi zølbmosdji jsøg ijio sjiw," it said in the message.

Autocorrect will do that to you.
Next thing you know, those foxes will start buying rocket motors and roller-skates from the ACME, Inc. online catalog...
And they didn't bathe either back then.
