Okay. Where's Jeff Gannon been lately?

August 29,2005 | 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 fact that I'm from Kansas has NOTHING to do with this!!

4. They're in the Smithsonian in Washington.

Well, they were glittery red and they had heels. I wouldn't have called them slippers.

9. There was a pair stolen from a shop in SF years ago

I think there were 7 pair made-not sure on that, there might have been 3 pair made and they were size 7 (my size!), too lazy to look it up...
