We all know that gardening takes a lot of work, but the same can be said for cultivating houseplants when somebody has enough of them.
While that alone can make them valuable for their owners, some are also rare enough that this value isn't just sentimental.

Unfortunately, many of us can name at least one family member who can't be trusted around our valuables and one woman recently learned who fits that bill in the worst way possible.
