mysterious visitor

So, Went out to feed my dog this morning only to discover his food bowl missing. He's a large dog with a large food bowl (probably 500g weight- 25cm diameter). Anyway the food bowl was gone! I went down to the back of the garden to pick my still fruiting raspberries only to find his bowl wedged in the wooden/wire fence. Plenty of foxes around us (wezembeek/tervuren) and cats around but I find it hard to believe a fox could carry it all the way down the garden (and why would he as it was empty bar a couple of nuggets of dried food).
Very odd indeed, any ideas anyone?
