I want to get a prototype for my invention casted, so which would be cheaper?
First, I would get anything of value out of there if possible. Next, tell the landlord if you haven't already. If it's convenient, stop in your local police station and tell them your story. If they do break in, the police will know there is already a suspect. Make a sign 'These premises under video surveillance' or 'So and so security alarm'. Even if there is no alarm or camera, it might stop the thieves. If you really want to get creative, you can make some sort of booby trap, but you might end up hurting yourself! Best of luck!
Do you mean the kind that connects the upper and lower braces? If so, then wearing them on a roller coaster should be fine. However, be sure to bring some extras. When I had braces and wore rubber bands, they snapped quite frequently because I opened my mouth too wide, which could easily happen if you scream on a coaster. Good luck!
