There’s no place like home for a pair of ruby red slippers from The Wizard of Oz. The shoes, worn by Judy Garland in the 1939 movie were stolen in 2005 from the Judy Garland Museum in Minnesota.

Well, the FBI just announced the iconic slippers have been found. While they’re not releasing any details, WCCO says they are planning to discuss them at a news conference later today. The recovered slippers are one of several pairs that were custom made for the movie.

Leonardo DiCaprio and Steven Spielberg co-own another pair that are on display at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures.
