There is the story about Steven, where his life was taken wrongfully, which is worth alot more than any ones property, but these are the words of Steven.

Act 7:60
And he kneeled down, and cried with a loud voice, Lord, lay not this sin to their charge. And when he had said this, he fell asleep.

Was this becoming a doormat, or was he following the commandments of Christ?

Therefore as I see it, the following scripture covers your situation.

Luk 6:27
27) But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you,
28) Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you.
29) And unto him that smiteth thee on the one cheek offer also the other; and him that taketh away thy cloke forbid not to take thy coat also.
30) Give to every man that asketh of thee; and of him that taketh away thy goods ask them not again.
31) And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise.
32) For if ye love them which love you, what thank have ye? for sinners also love those that love them.
33) And if ye do good to them which do good to you, what thank have ye? for sinners also do even the same.
34) And if ye lend to them of whom ye hope to receive, what thank have ye? for sinners also lend to sinners, to receive as much again.
35) But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil.
36) Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful.
37) Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven:
38) Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.

Grace be unto you
