If you were smart, you would disguise spare bike parts and future projects as tables, lamps, and home furnishings. I’ve seen glass tables with a V-twin engine as the base for example.
It beats hiding an engine in a garbage can.

Ouch! Mrs B did something like that not so long ago, onto our solid glass coffee table. Fortunately she took a bruising, but no injuries as such, other than to her ego. Table was given the last rites and a similar replacement has since been found. Sort of modern art deco, with elliptical top:
This is what dad's table looked like after the spill. Even if I had a "before" pic, it's no where near as nice as yours! I still can't believe that an 84 yo man fell backwards and caused this and came away with only minor injuries. Lucky guy.

A remarkable feature of our old and new tables is that they are very heavy (over a hundred pounds), made up of umpteen pieces of 3/8" thick plate glass, but there is no visible evidence of how they are bonded together. That alone attracted us to the darned things!

Mrs B and I went to the UK's annual bike show during the week and kicked tyres of the new Harleys and a lot more. However of all of them this attracted my attention. No brakes, no suspension, no transmission, no clutch, just a 1 litre V-twin engine and add a lot of courage! Won the first bike race around the World's first purpose-built motor cicuit, Brooklands, in 1908, at 63mph. NLG was North London Garages.
