It was raided by the FBI; I don't think the FBI is using this raid for petty cash (unlike local PDs).

(I think this is more a matter of the FBI being the FBI: they were convinced that they'd find lots of evidence of crime inside those boxes, evidence they couldn't stand not to get their hands on, because they're the FBI and they don't like anything they can't see)

FBI raided Branch Davidians in Waco for budget reasons. Budget hearings were several days after the botched no-knock raid, and the local sheriff said David Koresh regularly jogged down the road and could have been picked up peacefully any day.
