Heisig story:

From a burglar's point of view, a fiesta is an occasion to takeout the old lock picking needle and break into the unattended safe filled with the family shells (the old form of money, as we saw in frames 84 and 206).

Koohii stories:

1) [Francois] 11-3-2008(238): Burglars… those guys!!! Burglars only want money (clams) so that they can get needles (drugs) and party (fiesta)!

2) [twincy] 31-8-2007(71): After the fiesta, we found out that some burglar had stolen our money, probably breaking in with a lockpick needle…

3) [stephan] 4-10-2008(30): The burglar tried to steal my money by using a lockpicking needle, so I impaled him to the wall with my spear.

4) [jamestaverner] 3-2-2008(13): I had trouble remembering if this was during a fiesta or a parade / march - so I've pictured the burglar escaping from the scene of the crime in a clapped-out old Ford Fiesta.

5) [RachelleUdell] 12-3-2009(12): The BURGLAR tried to steal my CLAMS so I impaled him with TEN SPEARS.
