"You wouldn't believe it when you go around to some of these festivals," said Shaw. "Some people are fanatic about them - they are obsessed with these shoes. To me, it was well planned. Some fanatic may have even paid someone to take them."

Me thinks he protests TOO MUCH.

The guard claimed he saw some young girl with a Kansas accent rush in. She then slapped the shoes on and click her heals three times and POOF she was gone. The only thing remaining was a very confused little dog and he's not talking.

A rare pair of the ruby slippers worn by Judy Garland in the classic movie "Wizard of Oz" were stolen during the weekend in what appears to be a targeted burglary at the Judy Garland Museum in Grand Rapids.

Suspect is considered to be light in them...

Sounds like a baked bean ad to me.

Emelda Marcos should be considered a prime suspect...she had the greatest shoe fetish of all time and leopards don't change their spots!

I wonder if the thief put the shoes on as a getaway, closed his eyes, clicked his heels and said 'There's No Place Like Home'
