          Giongo, and that Ryan and Cattalo inquired to see if Hund had               
          received his share.  Giongo was still on police radio duty.                 
          There was no testimony from either Megna or Travers.  In light of           
          the conflicting testimony,27 we allocate $1,000 to Giongo and               
          $1,800 each to Wilson, Cattalo, and Grove.                                  
               Sterling Ferguson Search                                               
               On or about July 28, 1983, Cattalo obtained a search warrant           
          for the home of Sterling Ferguson (Ferguson).  Cattalo, Grove,              
          Hund, and Ryan executed the search warrant.  The officers found             
          money and cocaine.  Hund appropriated a video camera.  When                 
          Ferguson returned home after his arrest, he discovered that $200,           
          cocaine, cutting agent, a triple beam scale, a gun, and a video             
          camera were missing.                                                        
               Respondent asserts that $1,000 was taken and divided six               
          ways, with $167 distributed to each petitioner from the Ferguson            
          search.  Ferguson testified that $200 was missing along with a              
          video camera and other items.  Ryan testified that $1,000 was               
          appropriated and that he, Grove, and Hund received money from               
          Cattalo and that Cattalo had portions for Wilson and Giongo.                
          Hund testified that he found an unspecified amount of money that            
          he gave to Cattalo to hold, and that he turned down the money               
          offered to him by Cattalo, since he appropriated the video                  
          camera.  Hund states that Wilson was to receive a piece and                 
          Giongo a bone but then amended his testimony to say that Giongo
