Yes, and then drop them an automatic e-mail with a subject line like
"INTRUSION ALERT", stating that you detected someone attempting to access
their account, with instructions on how to change the password.

It lets the user know that you know, explains why they got booted, and
gives the impressionthat you're looking out for their security instead of
just keeping them from ripping you off by account sharing.
