| Well, not to mention that leaving a body behind gives any investigative agency a place to start looking. Known associates of "Bob the Decker" include... -Siege |
Who said anything about leaving his body behind?
I comprehend not where you people are getting this stuff!

| The more expensive Bob's combat equipment is, the greater the risk you need to take to attempt to relieve him of it. |
Probably from that
Argh, Bob was the security guard when his name was invoked in that context!
Well, that and to annoy you. 
Someone else mentioned snagging the deck and scooting without realizing the implications of leaving the actual body behind to identify.

That's not true at all. Professionalism is a thousand different things, one of which is taking the most cost-effective course of action under a given set of circumstances. Putting your life on the line for longer than you have to just so you can jack Bob's armor vest is generally not the smartest thing to do.  |
You are already putting your life on the line to relief Bob of his life. And if Bob's armor vest is so difficult for you to relief of, then mayhap he simply just shoot you and capture Lennie the decker instead.
Running away from the fight isn't going to greatly increase the chances of Mr Sam surviving the fight, so he has no incentive to stop shooting even if you just hosed his run. In fact, it means he probably not going to get paid(and his rep is going to take a hit already) and he might as well break even by shooting and looting since he probably is going to need to kill that dumb Bob the sec guard and since he is going to kill someone, he might as well spread more of the love around and break even by looting.

Which is why you shouldn't attempt it if the only benefit of success is the opportunity to loot his stuff. Somehow I feel that you've completely missed my point.

Er, yes it will. That's the whole purpose of a tactical retreat.
In a CQB situation, tactical retreat usually entails killing the guys shooting at you before moving backwards.
In my experience, if you come prepared, that usually isn't necessary. Especially when the goal of your enemy isn't to kill you, but to force a retreat.
