When the world's most iconic piece of film memorabilia--Judy Garland's iconic ruby slippers--were stolen from a small museum in Grand Rapids, Minnesota (yes, Minnesota) in 2005, the world went on high alert. The questions swirled like a Kansas tornado: Who took them, how were such an important piece of American culture able to be swiped in the first place, and most importantly WOULD WE EVER GET THEM BACK? For over a decade, the investigation festered. The police were brainless! The heartless thieves left fans in the lurch, and the only hope was that an unknown hero would have the courage to come forward with information that would solve this case and return the slippers to their rightful place in Judy Garland's home town, because, as everyone knows, there's no place like home.
