Well...if you kill them, you can still be sued by their heirs.

In any case, you're in a position of deciding between several unpleasant
alternatives:
	loss of property and legal hassel
	vs.
	rape or death (your own)

And unfortunately, when one must make such a decision, there isn't much
time or data with which to work.
