Stolen Cube (please return)

man i really feel for him...

<Ethan_Rosen> rowehessler, just curious, did the cube have any distinctive visual qualities? like sticker color or whatever

<rowehessler> uh, it had flourescent orange and green, bright blue and white, normal yellow and red, and the stickers were all slightly chipped.

<flooom> it would be so easy to tell

<Ethan_Rosen> that's not default, pretty much ruling out any belief I had that it was an honest accident

They probably didn't take it by accident. That's pretty unique.

The background music is veryyy suiting.

I stand by what I said. Someone leaving in a rush might have thought they had just put down their 2x2 right there and not looked to see if it actually was theirs. Although it's certainly less likely that it was an accident now, it's still possible and we still don't know.

And, regardless of whether it was an accident, basically all of my points besides the first still apply. Don't point fingers at specific people, don't persecute the person who has it before we know who it is, and be glad that this doesn't happen more often.

Although I have no idea where it is, or could be (I wasn't at the comp) I would be more then happy to make him one with a screw spring core (out of a normal sized 3x3 6mm bigger then ES) so he wouldn't notice that big of a size difference.

If I can get the one I am making now to be good I would be very willing to make him one and give it to him at Nats.

Just an offer I would like to throw out there.

EDIT: I do realize it is impossible to replace his puzzle, because of all the time and effort he put into making it so good, and the fact that he set records on it, I was just thinking we could get him one that is as good as possible to somewhat replace it until he gets his back.

Rowe, I really admire you for not still being angry. I know I would be but you set a great example for cubers so that we don't bug out about our cubes. I mean yours was a WR cube but you are ok about it. Good Luck at Nats, I hope you break your 3.15.

Maybe you can put your address here, and if the guilty person regret it, he can send it to you anonymous.

Don't beat yourself up too badly about it, Rowe. When you've invested that amount of time and effort into something it become more than just a thing.

The closest I ever came to that was when I had the first guitar I'd ever owned stolen from my car on my way to an open mic. It really felt like I'd lost a part of myself and it took me months to get over. I've actually made myself sad just thinking about it.

I really, really hope you get your cube back.

You would assume that there would be a few competitions in Washington DC since it's the capital of the USA but there are none. Darn it, it would be a 30 minute drive.

Wrong thread.
