Along with that you put yourself at risk of them becoming DrunkWithPower and [[WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity embarking on a fiery rampage]] [[ForTheEvulz just for the kick of it]].

In Europe, where self-defence laws are less flexible than in the US, she would likely have had to go to court and demonstrated she killed in self-defence. Even if she didn't, you'd assume there would at least be a mention of the police looking for a woman who had gone into several countries and slaughtered people there.

In fact, her introductory cutscene in the locations she explores and sharing first game features her other, more mundane discoveries on a magazine cover, with the world. It's implied caption "Croft Bags Bigfoot" - with sufficient evidence on-hand, she could've easily sold the story to that she only ever keeps magazine (and possibly others, unless said magazine paid handsomely for an exclusive deal on the most dangerous artifacts story) for a pretty hefty price. And in Tomb Raider III, Sophia Leigh talks as though Lara is a renowned celebrity (she certainly is treated as such in the intro to herself to keep them out Chronicles), whose exploits are very well-known, so Lara obviously has prestige, even beyond the fields of evil hands.
