Looks like the Mafia arranged the heist. The motivation of the thief is kind of funny and sad:
Terry Jon Martin stole the ruby slippers from the Judy Garland Museum in Grand Rapids, Minnesota in 2005. In his guilty plea, Martin confessed to using a hammer to break into the museum and smash the display case to take the slippers.
…an old mob associate enticed Martin to carry out "one last score" after convincing him that the slippers needed real jewels to match their $1 million insured value.
DeKrey wrote in a memo: "At first, Terry declined the invitation to participate in the heist. But old habits die hard, and the thought of a 'final score' kept him up at night.
After much contemplation, Terry had a criminal relapse and decided to participate in the theft.”
The story took an unexpected twist as Martin explained that he had hoped to extract what he believed were real rubies from the shoes. Disappointingly, he was informed that the rubies were, in fact, glass.

So the shoes are not in Kansas anymore.
I wonder if the FBI agent who found them is a friend of Dorothy?

I don't share my avatar. I beat up Dicknoseian and FakeCrystal for using my avatar a couple weeks ago. They both needed spleen surgery.
The Dicknoesian
just took it, I didn't share it.
To
"beat"
him up for it appears somewhat too aggressive.
I like to stay friendly.

That's ok.
In a free world we share everything with each other.
Even slippers and the avatars.

Is that what you would do?
