Decoy Bike?

A great way to protect your bike from getting stolen is to park it next to something far more attractive / easier to sell for ready cash. I’m guessing that’s what’s happened here, with these two completely unlocked bikes I saw yesterday:

As I said, neither bike is locked, though that lamp post is pretty securely chained down. Or at least it would be if the lock used on it had been tough enough to resist attack from my Daughter’s nail clippers.
What really puzzles me though is the question as to which bike is the decoy?
The one with the drop handle-bars, 531 tubing & shifters mounted on the downtube, or the full-sus BSO? Or maybe they’re both decoys in an area notorious for lamp post thieves?

LOL!
I pulled a similar stunt today, by locking the Xtracycle to a massive railing next to a flast MTB with all the trimmings and a lock marginally thicker than a brake cable
