Belleque then got up and looked for him.
"I went up to the second and third floor to see if anybody was there, but nobody was there," Belleque said. "I went downstairs to the mail room and found the windows wide open."
Belleque continued around the first floor and found it empty. He later decided to go and see if anybody was awake.
Walther, a student in biology, was in his rooms watching a movie. He couldn't hear what was happening because he had headphones on to keep the sound from waking anybody up. Belleque came in and told Walther about someone breaking into the house through the window and walking around the house.
"I got up and went downstairs with him because it sounded pretty serious," Walther said. "This was when I noticed and asked, 'where's Rosencrans?'"
The statue was missing from their living room.
Walther put on his shoes and went to comb the neighborhood in search of the thief while Belleque called the police.
"I figured they couldn't get far because it was heavy," Walther said.
Belleque was surprised the thief was able to get away with the statue.
"I couldn't believe it," Belleque said. "First of all, I couldn't believe some guy that sounded drunk was carrying the statue because it [weighs] 80 to 100 pounds."
Belleque was disappointed with not being able to prevent what happened.
"I was kind of frustrated, having no clue who it was at all," Belleque said. "You just don't know anything about it and I could've woken up earlier to answer that doorbell. I realized there was nothing I could've done to change what happened."
Walther looked at the window in the morning and found that a wooden platform below the window was broken. He said the person could've broke it while trying to get into the house through the window.
"There was an indication in the ground where the statue could've landed," Walther said.
They also found a broken piece of the statue, the axe.
The reaction from the members in the house was unanimous.
"We were all kind of shocked," Waletich said. "The house doesn't look the same without it sitting in the living room."
Currently, nobody has a good theory about where it is and there's no lead.
"The statue is a symbol of strength, something that you don't think much about until it's gone," Walther said.
