Vulpeculated: Robbed by a Fox.
Example: If a fox steals a hen from your hen house, you were vulpeculated.
This is an entirely legit word in the English Language, though it's now considered obsolete because it only showed up in the 1600's for a bit. There were only a few times that it actually got used, but I still love it as a word. It was introduced to me as being mugged by a fox and while I know this is/was/can be a big problem, I couldn't help that think of a fox in a Zorro mask holding someone up.
I hope you find this word as amusing as I do.
