It almost caught me off-guard!
Just driving through the Best Buy parking lot and almost ran into the new "Berlin Wall" speed bump! I've never seen one this high in a parking lot, especially without Security Forces and M4's pointed at me. 
It was giving most cars a hard time scrapping and gouging all that tried to go over it. It tore up a cars exhaust system earlier and the owner had to pick up the pieces.
Saw a 4X4 truck roll up on it and perched on top for the driver to take his photo on it! I told the store manager she was going to get all kinds of lawsuits for tearing up cars. She promptly went in the store and pulled out some of thiose warning signs they use for "Wet Floors" and blocked off the Berlin Wall speed bump.
I told the lady if any lowered Vettes (like mine) rolled over it and damaged them, she was gonna regret having it installed. I just drove around it...and hopefully others do the same!

UPDATE! The lady manager decided to use "Caution tape" strung up between signs to warn off any drivers. She is going to have the properties Owner grind it down and paint it yellow or something.
Either that or they need to build a Check point booth and man it 24/7. "Papers please!"
AND you wonder what those Government Contractors were going to do when they stopped building in Iraq?
Guess what? they're busy in your shopping malls! Hahahahahah!

If you dont have any ramps you can go there after hours and use it to change your oil. On a serious note I have never seen a speed bump that high and so hard to see. Without question would tear up the front of any Vette lowered or not. Good thing you spotted it.
