Any suggestions of good horror movies that could provide inspiration for portraying ghosts in BitD? Especially those running wild in the Deathlands/the Lost District?

Pondering over the claims map for Shadows (p. 54). Every claim has to be wrestled from some other faction, sure, this is great for gameplay purposes. But fiction-wise, how to justify it in case of the luxury fence? In real life, receivers control thieves, rather than the other way round, and any receiver would be happy to extend their business by drawing another aspiring gang into their network. One solution that immediately springs to mind is a fence who can afford to deal in only so many stolen luxury items per month lest they would arouse suspicions in authorities. Any other ideas?

Also, what exactly is meant by covert drops? I picture hidden places where messages and small items can be dropped and picked up, but how are these supposed to bring extra profit from espionage and sabotage jobs?

A few n00b questions on Factions & Tiers, if I may:

How are Tiers of citizens/districts reflected in play? Does robbing a random civilian from Charterhall count as a score against Tier III faction?

Also, what is the logic behind Skovlander War Refugees being Tier IV?
