The headline on your homepage and the tag here has the kind of fish misspelled–it’s “koi” not “coy,” which means shy. The headline here and story has it correct. Though it’s possible that the koi were both stolen and coy.

Yeah, my buddy’s koi were stolen too — by raccoons. Now who stole that ice cube I left in the sink?

Wow, what kind of society do we live in when even the Koi can’t be safe? Save the Koi America!
