Rob Lowe loves the Internet as much as it loves him

The “Lowe”down on the Internet’s favourite “Rob”bery.

Rob Lowe.

Classically handsome. Talented thespian. Narcissistic home invader?

Only the first two are true, though a family who returned home to find their home plastered with Rob Lowe photographs may have for a moment, thought it was a crime committed by the star himself.

It turns out it was all an elaborate prank on Imgur user StudyOfWumbology’s family.

It began with the StudyOfWumbology leaving this note for his parents.

While this note would have anyone running through a list of valuables in their home, the family was relieved to walk in and find all their belonging still in place.

But there was proof someone had been in the home and Rob-bery had in fact taken place.

The prank was all in good fun and garnered nearly 300,000 views in three days. There is no evidence as to whether the views are due to the cleverness of the prank or the handsomeness of Rob Lowe.

Feast your eyes.

On Oct. 13 during a Reddit AMA, the actor himself made a statement about the impact the “Rob”bery had on his career.

In today’s world, being part of a cultural/internet trend is more significant than winning an Oscar, so I’d like to thank my family, my agent, my managers, and all people who are struggling in the shadows of being terminally handsome. THIS is for you.
