He Stole The Ruby Slippers From The Wizard of Oz, Worth $28 Million Dollars

Description

Terry Martin, a 76-year-old former criminal from Grand Rapids, Minnesota, confessed in 2023 to breaking into the Judy Garland Museum in 2005, smashing a display case with a hammer, and stealing an authentic pair of ruby slippers worn by Judy Garland in The Wizard of Oz. Believing the items were real rubies, he intended to sell them through a criminal fence—but soon discovered the gems were merely glass and sequins and abandoned the shoes days later.
