Herea are the links to 2 beauties offered on allegro.pl (sort of ebay competition):

http://www.allegro.pl/item454963948_gitara_alembic_model_rogue_4.html
 
The problem is, the seller doesn't seem to have much of an idea about them (he listed them under electric guitars!) and won't provide serial numbers. There are also no papers. He says they were imported from Scandinavia. Therefore I would like to ask if there were Alembics like those 2 reported stolen in Northern Europe. I'm not considering buying any of them now but there seems to be something fishy about these auctions and I wouldn't want anyone to get into any trouble because of that...
 
Thanks in advance for your help!

Definitely looks like the same instruments - Rogue 4 with wenge top and Excel 5 with canarywood.
 
It also says SPROWADZONE ZE SKANDYNAWI which apparently translates as fetched from Scandinavia - cheeky!

It means imported from Scandinavia (btw, there's a spelling error - it should be Skandynawii, with two i's - but that's a marginal remark).

I sent an e-mail to Mica with the details, let's hope this gets sorted.
 
Best of luck with your own missing Alembic situation - your karma is in good standing.

I've alerted my distributor in Norway. I'd appreciate it nobody contacted the sellers directly.   Thanks for letting us know about this - this is exactly the kind of thing that will assist in recovery.

I've alerted the Polish police about it.
