	A similar situation popped up in the game I ran.  A Player Character
	died.  When he was buried, it was decided that most of his equipment
	was going back to his father.  Dain was buried with a "standard spread"
	of equipment and some of his "special items".

	Later that evening, some of the less savory characters had a change of
	heart and conspired to loot the grave.  They snuck out of camp, and
	went to the grave. They took their shovels in hand and said "OK, we
	start digging."  I replied (turing the room lights down) "Who takes the
	first shovel of earth from Dain's grave?".  There was a pause, and a
	"You First" look passed between them.
	
	Dain's grave remains undisturbed.


	That kind of playing is why I still do this... stuff.
