An EMS Synthi A plus its KS-Keyboard was stolen from the Synthesizer Museum “Synthorama” in Luterbach in Switzerland.
The fact that this museum is totaly driven from the enthusiasm and personal commitment of the owner adds on top of the issue that this kind of thieverism is utterly disgusting.
Please do the synth community a favor and watch out.
Serial numbers are:
4235 for Synthi A and
45098 for the KS-Keyboard.

Two listings, same seller. Picture borrowed from another forum. Trying to help bring attention to this and hoping to see it returned to the proper owner, if this is in fact the stolen unit.
If you look closely, you’ll note that the logo beneath the pin matrix says “Synthi”, whereas the logo on the stolen unit says “Synthi A”.
Also, though it may be a trick of the light, the stolen unit’s case seems to be more of a grey color, while this one is black. The pin complement is different as well (though this could easily be changed).
So coincidence I guess. False alarm?
I could be wrong, but that’s my guess.
The whole situation breaks my heart. 
Those are very helpful observations though!
And it’s really a gross situation in every sense of the word.
The owner of the museum started a topic at the Sequencer-Forum.
My guess it that every observation helps in getting the thief and the Synth back.
Plus, it helps the owner with his struggle and frustration cause of the whole issue and breach of trust in humans/guests of the museum, where normaly you should expect trustworthy fans of synths and music.
