Why oh why would you ever let players get off that scott free? Let
me tell you about what happened to us in the old New Orleans campaign
(which I wish would be run again). The GM did state he was taking some
liberties with Shadowrun to keep us on our toes (with 2 GM's in the group
with all the books you have to do these things). Whilst in the sewers
hunting down a mysterious Penkash we encountered his lair of rat beings
and killed him natch. A quick assensing of him and his wand showed they
had the same aura. After noting how interesting we pawned it off on a
players talismonger. Later when the wand (the real Penkash) possessed the
talismonger and Penkash came back stronger than before did we realize our
folly. Waif did look at him when we finally found out what had happened
and stated "we sold you once and we can do it again!" At least we made a
lot of nuyen from that sale.
Then there was that chemical factory worker whose car we stole and
inadvertently killed his wife. That pushed him over the edge and he
became a toxic shaman who hounded us for some time.
What comes around goes around.

Ancient cultures believed that names held great power, personal names
more so and they were guarded very closely. To protect themselves, they
answered to another name, because if another discovered their real name,
it could be used against them.
History repeats itself.
