The Associated Press

BOZEMAN — A burglar who unsuccessfully tried to break into a safe in the basement of the Bozeman American Legion over the weekend ended up taking several other items, including a bugle used by the Legion’s honor guard.

Len Albright with the American Legion tells the Bozeman Daily Chronicle they want the bugle back, no questions asked. It can be dropped off at the Legion or find another way to get it back.

The bugle has been used to play Taps at about 80 military burials a year since 2009 and was scheduled to be used at a funeral on Thursday. The bugle was purchased to replace one lost in a natural gas explosion in downtown Bozeman.

The bugle was sitting on top of the safe.

Bozeman police are investigating.
