The Sudanese were up in arms a number of years ago because of penis stealing, which is apparently a complaint that surfaces every once in a while. They'd go to some self-appointed expert who'd say who stole their penis and give them an amulet or mutter an incantation--for a fee--to have it restored. Cheaper than Viagra.

Then it spread to some other country, forget which. At one point it was a Jewish conspiracy.
