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.

At the time, the Florida Keys sheriff said: "Anyone who has a public restroom on their property needs to check them closely.

“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.

The rise of renewable energy helped break 13 clean energy records in 2017. In June, for the first time, wind, nuclear and solar power generated more UK power than gas and coal combined. Britain has halved carbon emissions in the electricity sector since 2012 to provide the fourth cleanest power system in Europe and seventh worldwide . In April, the UK had its first 24-hour period without using any coal power since the Industrial Revolution. The government is committed to phasing out unabated coal by 2025 as part of efforts to cut the UK's greenhouse gas emissions in line with legal obligations. Separate findings from power research group MyGridGB show that renewable energy sources provided more power than coal for 90% of 2017, figures up to 12 December show. British wind farms produced more electricity than coal plants on more than 75% of d...
