UNET acronym fails to deter bad guys

Earlier today, Owen Courrèges noted a KPRC-2 report on the latest crimefighting action by the UNET Crime Van:

A new Houston Police Department crime van helped some crime victims Wednesday night in southwest Houston.

U-Net, which stands for Unified Neighborhood Enhancement Team, was parked on Bissonnet at Fondren.

It was across the street from an apartment complex where three shotgun-carrying robbers held up three men at 3:30 a.m. One of the men was beaten.

The crime victims spotted the mobile police unit and ran there for help.

U-Net had only been parked in that location for about 12 hours when the crime happened.

The mobile unit was launched as a high-profile deterrent to crime in high-crime areas.

It's reader participation time. Please feel free to supply your own one-liner
