Answer 1

You seem a bit obsessed with James Dean's car crash. I don't think they would have as it would have been noted and thought of as suspicious. Also, the other passenger in the car was not as badly hurt and neither was the colliding car driver which would have meant they would have seen it. Also, I would have thought they wouldn't be trying to steal money from him as they would probably be able to get a lot more from press coverage and suchlike.

Why don't you just look up the names of the ambulance drivers and paramedics instead of finding different reasons for asking about them?

No other site says that and this one is not too reliable. Also, if they rolled him, it would mean that the money could have easily fallen out. For what other reason would the phrase be placed there?

Answer 2

His Porsche wasn't wrapped around a tree! He hit another car. As for the EMT taking his money, I've never heard that before and would think it would be a part of his legend if it did happen (I doubt it did). The Porsche has become kind of a legend in itself though, some people believe it's cursed. Check this out:

The "curse" of "Little Bastard"
Since Dean's death, his Porsche 550 Spyder became infamous for being the vehicle that killed not only him, but for injuring and killing several others in the years following his death. In view of this, many have come to believe that the actor's vehicle and all of its parts were cursed. Legendary Hot Rodder George Barris bought the wreck for $2,500, only to have it slip off its trailer and break a mechanic's leg. Soon afterwards, Barris sold the engine and drive-train, respectively, to physicians Troy McHenry and William Eschrid. While racing against each other, the former would be killed instantly when his vehicle spun out of control and crashed into a tree, while the latter would be seriously injured when his vehicle rolled over while going into a curve. Barris later sold two tires, which malfunctioned as well. The tires, which were unharmed in Dean's accident, blew up simultaneously causing the buyer's automobile to go off the road. Subsequently, two young would-be thieves were injured while attempting to steal parts from the car. When one tried to steal the steering wheel from the Porsche, his arm was ripped open on a piece of jagged metal. Later, another man was injured while trying to steal the bloodstained front seat. This would be the final straw for Barris, who decided to store "Little Bastard" away, but was quickly persuaded by the California Highway Patrol (CHP) to loan the wrecked car to a highway safety exhibit.
The first exhibit from the CHP featuring the car ended unsuccessfully, as the garage storing the Spyder went up in flames, destroying everything except the car itself, which suffered almost no damage whatsoever from the fire. The second display, at a Sacramento High School, ended when the car fell, breaking a student's hip. "Little Bastard" caused problems while being transported several times. On the way to Salinas, the truck containing the vehicle lost control, causing the driver to fall out, only to be crushed by the Porsche after it fell off the back. On two separate occasions, once on a freeway and again in Oregon, the car came off other trucks, although no injuries were reported, another vehicle's windshield was shattered in Oregon. Its last use in a CHP exhibit was in 1959. In 1960, when being returned to George Barris in Los Angeles, California, the car mysteriously vanished. It has not been seen since.
