I'm not sure if this topic has been discussed here before. I did several searches but didn't turn up anything.
In my wanderings through layouts on this and other forums and the net as well I've found the majority of modelers chose to portray good, clean, wholesome living on their layouts. Perhaps this is driven by memories of how it used to be in the good old days. Maybe it's due to the suberb job done by the LPBs in law enforcement, but you hardly ever see any crime. Graffiti seems to be the lone exception to this rule. Since I'm modeling Hollywood's version of the Old West, I plan on the obligatory bank robbery, stage holdup, jail break, cattle rustle, negotiable affection, gambling, public drunkardness, and maybe even a lynching. (Did I leave anything out?) I'm curious as to what crimes others might have included in their layouts.
