**TIFU by accidentally creating a viral news story about my neighbor Anna Kepner**

Okay, so AITA for thinking my quiet, "normal" neighbor Anna Kepner was just a suburban mom who bakes too much zucchini bread? Turns out, she's been running a clandestine underground operation where she *replaces* people's lawn gnomes with identical-looking gnomes that have slightly passive-aggressive expressions.

The local news got ahold of it because someone installed a Ring camera and caught her swapping a gnome at 3 AM in full tactical gear, complete with night vision goggles. The headline? *"Bored Housewife or Lawn Gnome Cat Burglar?"*

TL;DR: I called the cops on her for "suspicious activity," and now she's a local folk hero with a GoFundMe for "gnome liberation." She's giving interviews about how "the gnomes were unhappy with their landscaping choices."

Reddit, I feel like I’m living in a Netflix satire. AITA for ruining her cover?
