Case September 2011, stolen in Switzerland/Zurich

A severe burglary took place at the headquarters of ALPA of Switzerland during the night 28th to 29th September 2011.

Please be very cautious when buying material from non-ALPA dealers and inofficial sources. In any case we ask you to inform us when you get suspicious offerings from doubtful sources. 

Please be also aware that electronic market places are also known for dealing with stolen material. They are very often not cooperative! So if you have questions just ask ALPA of Switzerland by e-mail. We know the serial numbers of the stolen items where available. Instantly we got massive offerings on the internet with material in question! 

We ask our customer for understanding that the delivery of their items could get delayed due to this incident. Thank you!

Please find hereafter a list of stolen goods (identifyable ALPA lenses listed only) during the burglary at ALPA headquarters 28/29 September 2011.

Consult our list of stolen lenses and avoid getting involved into concealment of stolen goods. In any case of doubt we strongly recommend to contact your ALPA dealer or us before buying from criminal sources. Thank you!
