Austin Announces Longhorn Trading Cards


by LandThief Press Austin Correspondent Edwin Simmons

Austin, TX (LTP) - Art Acevado, newly crowned Chief of Police for the City of Austin, is planning to announce the issuance of the first ever Texas Longhorn Trading Cards. In a LandThief Press exclusive, we've obtained an example of one of the trading cards as well as the press release.


"The trading cards are an innovative way to connect with the youth in the Austin area. This is a unique program that we've launched, as not only do the cards have the players picture, height and weight, the UTPD has also assisted us in publishing the license plate numbers and finger prints for each of the Longorns. In this way, not only are we able to reach out to the city's youth, but we may also turn up some additional leads in some unsolved cases where we've exhausted all leads."


"Police officers and detectives will have the cards beginning August 15th, and will be distributing them over the next several weeks throughout the city. "


A copy of My Little Pony's card is shown below, prior to the finger prints being printed, as the cards have not been completed.

Nice compliment to the Longhorn Criminal Alert System - that was a hoot. If only arrests carried NCAA fines...alas.
