Owl steals hat on trail: PSA?

I was walking my dog around 6pm tonight and this nice lady screamed as I passed her on the trail (for seemingly no reason). She then said, "I had a hat!" We looked around and spotted the thief in a tree. We watched the owl toy with the knitwear while we discussed the hat's rodent-like qualities. I tried to lighten her ordeal by saying, "I hope it wasn't your favorite hat!" She said it was. :-/ We were where Railroad trail branches toward Brandywine and Niagara.
