My players don't loot., Am I blessed? Options

Reading these boards has led me to believe that with shadowrunners, looting is the norm rather than the exception. I didn't know this until now.

I don't pay my players all that much, but more than they could make doing something safer. Generally, they don't have problems keeping cred in their wallet, and are still able to buy certain toys/luxuries when they need to. Every once in a while they run short of cash, but they tighten their belts and get by.

One run we went on, they had a few opportunities to snag some SMG's and credsticks. They passed them by, even though the loot would have made for a decent boost to their income for that run.

After the run, I asked my players why they didn't grab the loot. One of them said:
"We're not getting paid to loot."
I was like, 'Oh, cool.'

They never loot. There have been times when due to badluck/malfunction/no ammo, a PC has had to 'liberate' a piece of equipment from an NPC in order to complete the run. After the run is completed, the equipment in neatly disposed of rather than kept. These guys have weapons that they've had since character creation, and don't hassel their contacts every week for Ares Alphas.

I guess what it comes down to is that I have frugal players, and I love it. Good roleplayers, no munchkins, and believable.

Though I've never left a crate in a facility clearly labled 'Fairlight', so we'll see when that comes up.
