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.
Think war is crazy? You wouldn’t be wrong... There have been more stupid conflicts for dafter reasons than you could imagine, not to mention peculiar plans, eccentric events and strange coincidences. Here author Benedict Le Vay picks some of the wacky war stories from his book and tells of the bizarre creatures who fought. In the 1930s, the military might of Australia took on an apparently easy-to-defeat enemy: the emu. Farmers – mostly veterans of the First World War who had been encouraged to settle in Western Australia, just in time for the Great Depression to slash prices for their produce – were desperate and pleaded for drastic government action to deal the emus savaging their crops. Given that the emu cannot fly, has no commanders, is generally unarmed and untrained, and an easy target at six feet tall, and that the soldiers were armed with Lewis guns and 10,000 rounds of ammunition, it should have been no contest. In fact, the emu was the clear victor. Only...
