Reminds me of the uglified camera to deter theft. https://web.archive.org/web/20090521084503/https://blog.jimm...

A common strategy among bicycle messengers too. A high end bike wrapped in electrical tape with a crap paint job doesn't look to appealing and will be a struggle to sell.

My “parts bin bike” has a frame that I suspect got this treatment. Pretty good Giant frame spray painted completely black.

My bike is a bit eco rubbish with bad green paint and the word recycle. Seems to work as a theft deterrent thing.
