If your stolen car is located after you reached a settlement with the insurance company it is theirs. You give up ownership when you get the check.
Looks like the insurance company would own the car from the little bit of googling I did.
One down, one to go.
Hooray! Now on to the e-mails?
It was political satire written for the time period when the question of gold or silver backed money was prominent. "OZ" = ounce and referred to the gold silver argument. All the characters, Dorothy, the farmer family and Toto,the Wizard, the Munchkins and the Witch and her flying monkeys all were readily identifiable public figures in that era.
No,
My car was stolen from the auto mechanic’s garage it was at to have the clutch repaired. The garage’s insurance company paid me and I surrendered the title to them. The car was found a few months later. The insurance company called me a offered the vehicle to me. I declined. They stated that they were required to offer it back to me. I was under NO obligation to take it back.
These laws may be different from state to state. In this case I would think the insurance company would actually own the ruby slippers IF they paid the claim for $1 million.
However, they may be required to sell the slippers back to the museum for the insured amount.
It must have worked because (thankfully?) we never got president William Jennings Bryan...
A million dollars for those ugly moth eaten shoes. I have some old flip flops to be auctioned off.
I heard that the Scarecrow represented farmers; the tin man represented the industrial workers, the wicked witches represented the railroads, the Wizard was President McKinley, and the cowardly lion was William Jennings Bryan [the “Cross of Gold” version, not the Scopes Monkey Trial version.] It’s funny how he made his reputation being a “man of the people” populist, but is remembered today as an evolution denier.
Don’t recall who Dorothy was supposed to be.
Not to worry, there’s also a pair in the Smithsonian Museum of American History.
