What kind of family keeps Granny’s ashes in a flowerpot?

A thief who stole a flowerpot containing the ashes of an African witch doctor grandmother is risking an involuntary sex change, her grandson warned in a letter published Thursday in a New Zealand newspaper.

The pot was stolen from the home at Gulf Harbour, near Auckland, of At du Plooy, who wrote to the Rodney Times saying he was a medium and keeps in touch with spirit of his grandmother who died 16 years ago in Africa at age 93.

She had put a curse on an area one kilometre around the pot with sex-change icons that can gradually change men into women and vice versa, unless the pot is returned, he wrote.-Malaysia Sun

The thief may just let the gender change follow its course. After the self discovery process is over, he or she may think of the money they will get from selling their story.
