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.
Firefighters, violinists and the latest in fall fashions hit the runway at the inaugural show of Fashion Week of Rochester 2018 . The noontime fashion luncheon drew a sold-out crowd of over 500 people to the tent next to Midtown Athletic Club at 100 E. Highland Drive in Rochester. This is the second consecutive year that Fashion Week hosted the runway shows at the same site. Now in its ninth year, Fashion Week of Rochester is the largest fundraiser for the Center for Youth. This year's goal from the events, ranging from a boutique crawl to runway shows, is expected to raise more than $750,000, said Elaine Spaull , executive director of Center for Youth . The funds from Fashion Week will help with a new home on Arnett Boulevard for LGBTQ youths, fund the crisis nursery and aid young women who have been trafficked for sex. Rochester has a high rate of youth trafficking, said Spaull, who is also a city council member. This is the first year that all the shows will sell ou...
It went out of date 35-years-ago, but what does the inside of this tin of Green Giant sweetcorn look like now? The can was recently donated to a food bank in Cardiff, despite having a best before date of August 1982. But it turns out that the sweetcorn has lasted pretty well - and looks exactly the same as you would expect if it was well in date. Whether the same can be said about the taste is anyone's guess. And it's not the only out-of-date product the Cardiff food bank has received recently after someone donated a tin of soup to that is so old that Heinz doesn't even make the flavour anymore. The rusty can had clearly been forgotten about long ago at the back of someone's cupboard, until the donor decided to have a clear out. And when it arrived at Cardiff food bank - the tin of long since discontinued kidney soup was at least 46-years-old. The Heinz ‘ready to eat’ Kidney Soup, priced at 10d (24p in 'new' money) was handed into to the Trussell Tr...
Media caption The children's aunt Claire Pearson shared her memories of them The aunt of four children who died in a house fire in Salford says the family is trying to cope with their grief but "nothing will ever break us". Demi Pearson, 15, and siblings Brandon, eight, and Lacie, seven, died in the blaze in Walkden on Monday. Lia, three, died in hospital on Wednesday. Claire Pearson said: "What's happened is tragic but it won't separate this family. We are all very close." Her sister and the children's mother, Michelle, 35, is in hospital in a coma. Two men and a woman appeared in court earlier charged with murdering the siblings. They were remanded in custody until 9 March for a plea and trial preparation hearing. Ms Pearson says her sister is "an amazing woman" and the house on Jackson Street "was like a youth club with the amount of kids" who would visit. "She was such a mother to everybo...
