A concrete slab that billionaire oilman T. Boone Pickens' scrawled his signature in as a child has been returned to Holdenville.

Ownership of the slab will apparently be determined in court.

Pickens wrote his name in the wet concrete in his grandmother's driveway in 1946 and recently sent a crew to cut out the slab and take it to his ranch in Texas.

David McCart now owns the home and says he owns the slab because of access to his property and his longtime maintenance of the easement. But Holdenville Mayor Jack Barrett contends the city owns the slab because its on city easement.

McCart says he'll ask a court to determine ownership.
