"The Wizard of Oz" Ruby Red Slippers worn by Judy Garland in 1939 at the viewing at the Plaza Athenee on December 5, 2011 in New York City.The pair of slippers that were stolen are currently in FBI custody, according to the Judy Garland Museum. They are owned by an insurance company. The ruby slippers were insured for $1 million at the time of the theft, federal prosecutors said. The latest fair market appraisal values the sparkling artifacts of film history at $3.5 million.
The shoes were worn by Garland's character Dorothy Gale in the 1939 film. Dorothy taps her heels together while wearing them and says"there's no place like home," in order to leave Oz and make her way back to Kansas. While Dorothy was from Kansas, Garland herself was born in Grand Rapids, the city in which the shoes were stolen. At the time of the theft, the slippers were on loan to the museum as part of a special tour.
