OK, so Toscanini's has been shut down for non-payment of taxes.

As Bostonist reports,
Aside from the word "SEIZED" in huge typeface, the sign read: "Seized for nonpayment of taxes and is now in possession of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts."


So, here's my problem. Am I the only one who thinks that "in possession of" is misused? To me, that says that Toscanini's now owns the Commonwealth.

...or maybe it's just me.
