(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Jennifer Aniston's neighbours have played a prank on Justin Theroux by leaving a "blanket of bologna" on his motorbike.

Justin's BMW motorcycle was reportedly defaced early yesterday morning as it was parked outside Jennifer's West 12th Street apartment in New York.

A neighbour spotted the prankster's handy work. Around 25 slices of "what clearly was bologna" was stuck to the motorcycle, creating a "blanket" over the bike.

The meat was placed all over the seat, wheels, handlebars, and engine at about 8am, but the prank was short lived. The sausage was cleaned off not long afterwards.

"I got the impression it was some weird message, like, You're full of bologna,'" the neighbour told the New York Post. "The bike was in otherwise in fine condition."

Jennifer and Justin moved into a Hollywood home together in August, but they have recently been spending time at the New York apartment Jennifer bought prior to that in May.

Neighbours have told New York Post that Justin's bike has been parked outside the apartment "almost every day this week".

Since setting up home in the area, the high-profile couple have reportedly caused a massive stir in the community.

Jennifer's representative says the prankster should have been caught by a lens.

"There are paparazzi outside their apartment 24/7. Don't you think they would have photographed the person doing it, if indeed this actually happened, which I do not know for sure," Jennifer's representative told the US publication. (C) Cover Media
