A small gray fox picked up my camera and ran with it and now I can't find it. There's a little bit of charge left on it and I'm wondering is there a way to ping it or something so that I can locate it on my property?  I had just gotten a video of him when 5 minutes later the video showed him running with it and I have that I could share but I don't see how to post videos on here.

Unfortunately no good way.  If your camera was connected to your home network (instead of a base station), then you could try creating a hotspot on your phone that uses the same network name and password.  Then explore the property, and see if the camera connects to the hotspot.
