As sweet as it sounds for this museum to get those slippers back, I don't think they should. There's no way a small museum can have top notch security for a 3.5 million dollar pair of slippers. This museum was stupid to disarm their own security alarms. I wouldn't trust this place to secure a 5 dollar bill.

That is an interesting point. My challenge is this: cannot they make a deal with the owner to purchase them off of the auction block?

The museum never owned the Ruby slippers. They were on loan from the collector which is why when they were recovered they were returned to him.

Well, it's not like these are the ONLY pair that were both in the movie and that Judy wore herself. There's the other pair that's at the Smithsonian and maybe there are more, as several were made for use in the film. But as the pair this place had were "on loan" to them in the first place, THEY aren't the owners. Plus, they didn't take very good car of them for allowing them to be stolen that easy in the first place. As such they don't deserve to get them back. Take good pictures of them and make a good copy. Then number one nobody will want to steal a copy and number two, if they do steal it, it shows how dumb they are and you don't lose another piece of cultural history again.

There are so many people out there that won't spend the INTEREST from thier investments in thier lifetime. Maybe one will come forward to help.

I don’t agree with people stealing but I can see it in their eyes why they want it. It’s the holly grail of cinema

This museum is an old house. It could go up in flames or easily be broken into again. They don't deserve the slippers.

I did with my family over the weekend and we were so enthralled with the blakk culture that we made the 3.5 hour journey down to visit Saint Floyd Square, even though there were racist signs there stating that whites are not allowed, my family stayed and reveled at that black fist covered in bird doo doo rising up in the middle of the intersection.
