What look like regular coat hooks being placed in women's public toilets might be far more sinister.
Usually if we don't have anything to hang up, we don't give a second glance to the hooks on the back of doors.
But you might want to look more closely at hooks in public restrooms and dressing rooms, if police reports are anything to go by.
Last year a force in Florida warned that clothing hooks with tiny cameras inside were being attached to walls in women's public toilets, including one at a beach.
The 'spy' hooks - which are also readily available to buy in the UK - look innocent enough but contain miniature cameras inside, which film through a small hole at the top of the plastic.
The camera hole is visible at the top of the hook(Image: Amazon)Whoever has placed the hook in the room can then retrieve it and download anything it has filmed to their computer.
At the time, the Florida Keys sheriff said: "Anyone who has a public restroom on their property needs to check them closely.
The back of the hook shows a USB port to connect to computers(Image: Amazon)“If you find anything suspicious you think might contain a hidden camera, don’t touch it. Call us right away and we will respond.
“Keep in mind, though, that these are very small cameras that can be mounted in many locations and hidden in many seemingly every-day items."
The camera hook also comes with cables and an instruction manual(Image: Amazon)Police in Florida said detectives were looking into the items.
The cheap camera hooks are still readily available to buy online in the UK, so in theory anyone could buy one and install it in a public place.
Which means you might want to double check before you undress or go to the toilet in a public restroom or changing room.
Theresa May is to chair a meeting of some of her senior ministers to try to make progress on stalled EU talks. They are expected to discuss how much the UK should offer to pay the EU to settle its bill as it leaves. This bill, which is likely to run into billions of pounds, is one of the main reasons for the logjam in negotiations between the UK and the EU. Downing Street dismissed reports the UK could double its initial offer to the EU to £38bn. The UK's offer so far is estimated to add up to about £20bn. What is the bill for ? The EU says the UK needs to settle its accounts before it leaves. It says the UK has made financial commitments that have to be settled as part of an overall withdrawal agreement. The UK accepts that it has some obligations. And it has promised not to leave any other country out of pocket in the current EU budget period from 2014-20. But the devil is in the detail. There are also issues like pensions for EU staff, and how the UK's contributi...
