Call the police right away if you see this hanging in a hotel room or public restroom.

Coat hooks have several uses. They may be used to keep keys, clothes, umbrellas, and headphones.

However, you wouldn’t think they would be put to any evil or immoral purpose, would you? Before hearing this, I didn’t know that they were able to accomplish such a thing.

Some coat hooks in hotel rooms and public facilities have concealed cameras in them. Similar gadgets have been spotted in public areas including women’s restrooms and hotel facilities.

Recently, three occurrences have been reported by Floridians. As stated in the MCSO report:

“In the women’s toilets, tiny cameras concealed in coat hooks were discovered fixed on the walls in all three occurrences. On May 26, they were discovered at Anne’s Beach; on May 28, they were discovered in the women’s restroom at Harry Harris Park in Tavernier; and on May 31, they were discovered at the Circle K Store at the 99.8 mile marker on Highway U.S. One.

In 2011, in a Kansas YMCA locker room, a lady unintentionally knocked a camera that was attached to a clothes hanger to the ground.

The investigators of the event found that the hook had a sticky underside.
