Armed game wardens seize Cuong Ly's pet koi of fifteen years and sell them to a pet store where he buys them back.

   From the Boston Globe article:

   "They treated me like a criminal," said Cuong Ly, who escaped from Vietnam 25 years ago. "I lived under communism and I felt like I'm back there again."
