Default Is this voodoo or Muslim ritual?

My aunt came home this morning to find a tightly-sealed black plastic bag hung at her main door. She opened it to find two coconuts that still had the husks on. She freaked out because she doesn't know why someone would place such items at her door. Is this some kind of sick joke or voodoo objects?
For the ignorant few, we all know Islam doesn't encourage voodoo practices, but in Southeast Asian countries like Indonesia and Malaysia where the people are predominantly Muslims, voodoo and black magic are practiced in their culture. They call their witch doctors 'booms'.

I'm asking a serious question, so don't b*itch like you know so much about Islam. I am not trying to insult any religions here. So please, use your brains before you type okay?!

More possibly a sick joke, unless she knows someone that does voodoo. And no I do not think it could be a Muslim ritual.

one of Muslim tradition is to share food with their neighbor, or make them sample food, drink, candy with their neighbor.

voodoo usually involve something human, such as a piece of Ur hair, or clothes to do the voodoo. and voodoo is restrict forbidden in Islam and whoever does voodoo is like disbelieving in Islam.

Islam does not tolerate superstition, including voodoo. I don't know what would happen to a Muslim who practiced such a thing.

Probably a human have personal intention.Get away from the bag which is on her home.But be careful for other time that a man or group annoy her.If you scare of it call police.

No not at all.
Muslaim follow the most wonderful and the only right right religion, and Islam has nothing like magic or Voodoo in it.

Well, that's odd, but coconut donations are certainly not any Muslim practice, though charity is encouraged. Is a new coconut company opening in the area and handing out free samples?
