How many pairs were there? I feel like I’ve seen them on display at various museums and amusement parks. Are the stolen ones the only originals?

I guess he didn’t have time to put the shoes on and click his heels three times when they came to arrest him? Or was he already at home?

Good questions. Fortunately the article has the answers you seek:

Now in FBI custody, they are one of four surviving pairs of the screen-worn slippers. The pair seen above is on display at the Smithsonian National Museum of American History.

Technically they were already stolen goods.

Just sayin’.

Of course everyone knows they were really silver slippers.

And that Oz was not all a dream.
