Quad most of those stories are rescue workers. One of them stole several cars and gave them to his family.
Sorry, but you are wrong
Since when did rescue workers = fire fighters? Shall I remind you of your EXACT claim?
There is rumoured to be a video of of firefighters stealing 400,000 bucks from an ATM.
You do know that many people volunteered to help with the rescue and recovery at ground zero? Many of which were not firefighters.
from your first article:

But several United States Secret Service cars listed as ''crushed,'' prosecutors said yesterday, were actually stolen by the head of the agency's motor pool at 7 World Trade Center, a retired police sergeant who received a commendation for his rescue work on Sept. 11, 2001.
Your third article:

FBI accuses 13 of its agents of taking mementos from World Trade Center site, including Richard B Marx, agent who supervised evidence recovery effort at Fresh Kills landfill in Staten Island; finds that removal of World Trade Center evidence was more widespread than previously realized and that problem is longstanding one at FBI crime scenes as well; institutes formal policy against practice; survivors and families of victims of Sept 11 attacks say removal of items from rubble was insensitive
Still nothing on any firefighter(s) stealing $400,000 out of ATM"s so far.

A man was arrested at a construction site while operating a piece of earth-moving equipment stolen from the World Trade Center site four days after the terrorist attack, the police said. The police-owned piece of equipment was to be used in the rescue effort. It was reported missing on Sept. 15 from 2 Rector Street in Lower Manhattan, the police said.
