🚨 **ANNA KEPNER: LOCAL WOMAN FINDS ‘COMMON SENSE’ SOLUTION TO NEIGHBORHOOD SPEEDING... BY INSTALLING A STUFFED BEAR WITH A RADAR GUN** 🚨
You can’t make this up, folks. Anna Kepner, 54, of Maple Lane, got so fed up with people flying past her house at 45 in a 25 that she decided ‘enough is enough.’
Her solution? A life-sized grizzly bear mannequin in a safety vest, holding a $20 toy radar gun from the dollar store. She mounted it on her front lawn facing the road.
And get this—according to Anna, **speeding has dropped 40% in three days.**
‘It’s just COMMON SENSE,’ Kepner told WKRP News. ‘People see that bear and think it’s Fish and Game or a cop. They slam on their brakes immediately. And if they don't… I have a motion-activated air horn behind it.’
Of course, the city is now threatening to fine her for ‘creating a visual hazard.’ Meanwhile, a petition to make the bear permanent has 600 signatures in 12 hours.
I guess common sense isn’t so common in city hall. If only they’d focus on actual problems instead of a stuffed animal doing their job for free.
