I think the honest thing to do would be to express your interest in the horn and tell your boss it's true value. Perhaps share the profit from your efforts.....if you try to "sneak" (steal?) it from him what would he think of you if he found out about your scheme? The reality is that posting your dishonest scheme here does not cause anyone to think highly of you....in actual fact if you did manage to get the horn and sell it.... the person buying would end up with a "hot horn" in more ways than one.

I am curious about the not musical bit?
