Stolen Cube (please return)

Well, I was not there and I don't know who was there, so I can not speak for myself. But was there anyone who was Rowes main competition? Not necessarily very close to him. But closes enough so that when he stole his 2x2 he could beat him. If this thing was truly an accident you would think that people would have come forth to give the cubes back.
 
Anyone ask Gavin to send out a mass email so people who aren't this forum but may know something/ or taken it by accident, will be notified.

Dude. I don't even know what to say to you... You just keep coming up with dumb theories with no evidence whatsoever to back it up.

Plus.. "Well, I was not there and I don't know who was there, so I can not speak for myself." Does that even make sense?

To top it off.. Phil wasn't there. Therefore Rowe had no competition. :p

Wait an idea just popped into my head do you think someone would steal his 2x2 if they weren't competing in that event?

Why not? If they're not competing in the event, they may not have a 2x2, hence the greater need for one.

What motive would the person have to steal the cubes in the first place?

Because some people don't want to work for things.

Actually, you can.

Remember, it sucks for anyone to have their cubes stolen. True, Rowe will probably be more greatly affected by it than others. But yeah, probably stolen by someone who doesn't have a lot of respect for others.
 
I feel like most cubers to know well enough to not steal cubes you know, like if you're disciplined enough to take the time to solve a Rubik's Cube, then you have some self control and what not.

I think it could have been someone younger that was just watching. People are walking around and see a cubing competition and they'd be like "oh lets check that out". You know?
 
I was at this competition. It makes me extreamly angry that someone stole a cube in general. Rowe is the man and he doesnt deserve to get his cube stolen neither does anyone. this is a hobbie, sport, lifestyle or whatever where we are more civilized i feel like most cubers have a heart for other people. Rowe especially does hes mad chill and he eats sleeps and breathes cubes and it makes me sick that we all can just leave out our cubes whenever we go to solve anymore just cause a couple people had to RUIN it. so to those people i say...

Return the cubes, grow a heart or quit cubing. BE A MAN FOR GOD SAKES. Not a little stupid noob kid. i wish i knew who it was... id have alot to say to them lol. ill shut up now.:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:
 
Just pointing out a few things (as others have done)...
We don't know that someone stole his cube intentionally. It's very possible that it was an honest mistake, or that the person who has his cube doesn't realize it. No need to start lining up the execution squad before we actually have any idea what happened. Also no need to treat this as a personal attack against Rowe; if the person does not know that they have Rowe's cube, then they don't realize how bad this is for him.

In particular (this is directed at miniGOINGS) don't try to point the blame at a specific person--a member of this community whom you do not know. Suggesting that someone at Connecticut stole his cube to try to beat him is uncalled for, and if there was someone who actually was competition for him then that would have been a completely unfair accusation that that person took the cube with malicious intent.

Next, be glad that as few cubes go missing at competitions as they do. The number of cubes I see sitting unattended on tables is huge. The fact that usually everyone ends up with just their cubes is quite impressive; when people quickly pack up their cubes it is amazing that they usually get exactly all of theirs.

Finally, if everyone continues to treat the unknown "thief" as a malicious, evil person, then we will not find out who has the cube, because whoever does will be too afraid to admit it once they realize that they do.

If people are set on this process of elimination thing, then I will honestly say that, having completely emptied the backpack I brought to Connecticut, I do not believe that I have Rowe Hessler's 2x2 in my possession.

yeah youre correct i guess i got a little hot headed. i didnt think of that. it just sucks for all parties involved. unless in fact there was intent to steal this cube and keep it then it just sucks for rowe which is no good. so the person who took it should give it back regardless.

The video's depressing to watch because you can tell how much he wants that cube.

When it comes to 2x2, Rowe's almost untouchable. He needs that damn cube.

I noticed something that seemed to emphasize how much this means to him..
Check out his profile. He made his account on the forum in November of 2007. The only thing he's ever posted is that video.

Whether someone took it by mistake, stole it, or it somehow was misplaced, I really do hope you find your cube, Rowe.
