My parents believe the superintendent is stealing supplies from an apartment they own and are renovating. How do they set up a motion activated camera when there is no internet, no VCR or DVR and leaving a laptop there is unsafe?

GiftGivingFilter: What's a creative way to give my boyfriend a skydiving certificate for his birthday?

What's a creative way to give my boyfriend a skydiving certificate for his birthday? I know he's wanted to do this, so I know I won't be going into a situation of "Gee... thanks... *crying on the inside*" I want a better way of giving him a gift certificate for a tandem skydive other than handing him an envelope with a print out inside.

Were my ideas stolen? If so, could I have done anything to prevent it?

I sent an e-mail of panel ideas after an interview to a woman hiring for a well regarded film festival. I did not get the job but when I was looking at the panels months later, I was surprised to find most of my ideas were being used. Was there any way to protect myself?
