MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Nearly two decades after a pair of ruby slippers that were worn by Judy Garland in “The Wizard of Oz” were stolen from a Minnesota museum, the iconic shoes are set to be auctioned off to the highest bidder Saturday. Heritage Auctions estimates that the slippers will fetch $3 million or more. They were on display at the Judy Garland Museum in her hometown of Grand Rapids, Minnesota, in 2005 when a thief used a hammer to smash the glass of the museum’s door and display case. Their whereabouts remained a mystery until the FBI recovered them in 2018.
