"We wouldn't go so far as to call ourselves detectives, necessarily, but we are bound and determined to get to the bottom of The Case of the Missing Fault in Our Stars Bench, Nancy Drew style. And while we probably won't figure out each and every one of the Five Ws (and H!), we thought it'd be fun to at least figure out the whodunnit. Here, our list of potential bench-nabbing suspects. Let's play, shall we?\n\nSuspect #1: The fans\u2014obvi!\n\nUh, hello! This bench is a key part in arguably one of the most anticipated film adaptations of our generation. We've yet to meet a person who didn't fall head over heels in love with the book the moment they started reading it, which means there are about a gazillion people out there who are probably dying to get their hands on a piece of the magic\u2014especially since it's the exact bench Ansel Elgort and Shailene Woodley's booties were parked on. It could have been hiding out in a 13-year-old Dutch girl's bedroom, for all we know. Plus, let's face it: It's much easier to steal a bench than it is to swipe Anne Frank's house.\n\nSuspect #2: An angry Amsterdammer\n\nThink about it: What if, like, Bella and Edward's first kiss wasn't in Bella's bedroom, and instead was by a lamppost in your driveway. Wouldn't you get kind of tired of Twilight-obsessives making pilgrimages to see the lamppost, take photos with the lamppost, hug the lamppost, etc.? Uh, yeah. This bench was probably an everyday part of life for tons of Amsterdam citizens\u2014maybe even in their front yard!\u2014and now they've gotta swim through a sea of people to get to it. Annoying, much? No bench, no problem!\n\nSuspect #3: Speaking of Bella and Edward...\n\nWhat about another YA novelist? John Green wrote what became one of our all-time favorite books\u2014it could have been jealousy that drove another writer to do the deed. We'd just like to see a simple alibi for Veronica Roth and Stephenie Meyer...no reason why. Just curious.\n\nSuspect #4: Theo James\u2014or any other mutual pal of Ansel and Shailene\n\nA-ha! A practical joke! We mean, Ansel and Shailene look like they probably know how to have a lot of fun, and we could totally see one of their many friends and former castmates playing a crazy little prank on the two of them. Nat Wolff, maybe? All we know is that pulling off a stunt like that would require some pretty stealth skills, and if that were the case, we'd probably have to applaud their efforts. We mean, the bench was returned after all, and it was all in good fun, right?\n\nSuspect #5: John Green himself\n\nHe's not exactly a fan, per se, but it's gotta be pretty cool if your book gets made into a movie. Maybe good ol' John took the bench as a souvenir! It's way cooler than anything else he could have kept from the set, don't you think? If he didn't steal the bench (and let's be real\u2014he totally didn't), we seriously hope he got to take home at least some sort of memento to add to his memory box!\n\nWho do you think took the bench and why? Throw out your theories in the comments below!"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
