Found something? Stay calm. Here’s what to do.

Clear steps for a camera or a tracker, a message you can send right away, and the emergency number where you are.

If you found a camera

Don’t touch or remove it
It is evidence. Taking it apart can destroy what the police need.
Take photos
Photograph the device and where it is, close up and from across the room.
Cover it
A towel, tape or a piece of clothing. Now it sees nothing.
Leave if you don’t feel safe
Go to the reception, the lobby or anywhere with people around.
Report it
Tell the hotel, the host or the booking platform, and the police.

If you found a tracker

Photograph it and note the details
Write down the serial number and where you found it.
Go somewhere busy and safe
Not straight home: whoever placed it may know where you live.
Contact the police
Especially if you feel followed or threatened.
Stop it sharing your location
When you’re ready, remove the battery.
