Actually, I kinda' see potential police scepticism if the plants look identical. One could then camouflage some of one among the other. At least, I'm sure people would try.

Hardware doesn't have the same feel as paper, and a book does look handsome on a shelf. A computer just crunches numbers, a book is just crunchy.
