Five-year-old Nixon Thorne's custom motocross-themed t-shirts and the cash from his recent sales were inside the now-stolen vehicle, but the young artist-entrepreneur and his mom say they aren't letting the ordeal get them down.But on Friday last week, his business faced its first obstacle.
Police confirm a vehicle was reported missing from the 4000 block of 40 Street N.W. between late Friday night and Saturday morning. Nixon's mom says she just moved the family to Calgary from British Columbia and recently bought the mini-van with hopes for road trips, and for more shirt sales at the track.
She's also looking for work and a fresh start, but this latest setback isn't knocking either of them off course.
