The ruby slippers, which symbolize Hollywood's golden age, were stolen in a 2005 heist, leading to a years-long investigation before their recovery by the FBI in 2018.
Once recovered, these iconic slippers are now up for auction, with the Judy Garland Museum actively seeking to purchase them through community fundraising efforts and state funds.
The former thief, Terry Jon Martin, attempted to steal the shoes believing they were encrusted with jewels, stating it was an effort to pull off 'one last score'.
Alongside the slippers, the auction features a range of 'The Wizard of Oz' memorabilia, including items that reflect the enduring legacy of this classic film.
