GRAND RAPIDS, Minn. — A pair of ruby slippers worn by Judy Garland in "The Wizard of Oz" and insured for $1 million is missing from a Grand Rapids museum.
Police Chief Leigh Serfling said the slippers were stolen late Saturday or early Sunday. Someone entered the museum through a window and broke into the small display case holding the slippers.
"There’s not a whole lot of evidence," Serfling said. "We’re hoping that someone in the community has seen something."
Children’s Discovery Museum director John Kelsch said the slippers belong to a Los Angeles man who loaned them to the museum for several weeks this summer.
The children’s museum houses the Judy Garland museum, which displayed the same pair of slippers last year. Garland was born in Grand Rapids in 1922.
"The slippers are a major attraction at our museum," Kelsch said in a news release Monday. "It is our hope that the slippers can be recovered immediately."
To the person(s) who has these slippers: you can return them to me anonymously. I promise I won’t tell a soul who you are! I assure you, they will be in good hands, and I will return them safe and sound to the owners once a substantial dollar amount for compensation is agreed upon

I would hate to think that a fellow Michigander would stoop so low as to steal Dorothy’s hard-won souvenir from the Land of Oz.
It was probably that notorious Ohioan, the Wicked Witch of the West. You gotta watch out for those Buckeyes.
I obviously need to clean the reading glasses. It says Grand Rapids, Minn., NOT Grand Rapids, Mich.
D’OH!!
Sounds to me like the folks in Grand Rapids haven’t yet awakened themselves to the growing need for effective security measures. Unless their insurers are really stupid, they must pay some high premiums.
Also, “Inadequate Security” has, in recent years, been the title of many successful and lucrative lawsuits.
Let me guess: Once you get your hands on the ruby slippers, you’ll wear them instead of strappy sandles when you go house shopping, right?
Sloan: No worries – it’s happened to me before too
Seth: It does sound like it was a little too easy for the person(s) responsible to break in and steal the shoes.
LC: Literally LOL
