I'd recommend the previously mentioned: Ramp up the EL's, and through item destroying monsters at them.  They'll get whittled down (do it SLOW) eventually, and then you'll all be comfortable as you gradually drop EL's down to their level, and they lose items that you don't want them to have.  Be extremely carefuly to evaluate where they 'should be' in your opinion, and where they are, then take them down one or two notches at a time until they get down where you want them to be.  Do it slowly enough, and they may never twig to it.  Alternatively, insist that any new characters be first level, then whittle out characters one by one - this path has dangers though, and is not advisable.Give us some details on the party and possesions and we can probably be quite a bit more specific in our suggestions as to how to handle the situation.</blockquote>
