Since I had to move, post-stalker, I've kind of always had this sneaking feeling that I'm always being watched or listened to... and second-guessing people's words and actions, especially men. I get the creeps for no or little reason.

Lately it's been my landlord and flatmates. The other day my landlord came over and was chatting to one of my housemates, and described a specific item of lingerie that I happen to own (I suppose it was probably coincidence or they saw it in my laundry, but it's not a typical everydaywear item), and something else that sounded like a phone conversation I'd had with another friend, and I immediately freaked out and started wondering if someone had sneaked into my room and put tiny hidden cameras or microphones or telephone bugs somewhere, or were sniffing through my underwear drawer. I've hidden my toys much more carefully. I check the bathroom carefully before I shower or even use the toilet, and I don't walk around my room naked or masturbate with my toys any more which I used to love to do in case someone is watching or listening remotely... ironic considering I once did exactly that for money.

Anyway, my question was - are these types of surveillance / spy things easily available? Are they the sorts of things that the average Joe could purchase without too much expense? And most importantly, is there any way to check for their presence in a room? I know I'm being very paranoid here but this would genuinely help me sleep better at night...
