Ruby slippers from The Wizard of Oz up for auction 20 years after theft
Briefly

Judy Garland's ruby slippers from The Wizard of Oz, stolen in 2005 and recovered by the FBI in 2018, are set for auction, currently at over $812,000.
The slippers, adorned with sequins and beads, were thought to have real jewels. The thief, Terry Jon Martin, was misled by mob ties about their true value.
The auction has sparked interest from various collectors, including the Judy Garland Museum, which has raised funds to secure the historic footwear.
Only four pairs of these iconic slippers remain, highlighting their rarity and significance in cinematic history as they are sought after by enthusiasts.
