Community members support a Toronto boy after someone steals his roadside scone stand. David Hove is back in business after a temporary setback in his budding baking business. Support came pouring in after the 10-year-old boy’s table, cooler, and water bottle were stolen from his front yard when he went inside to use the bathroom.
Security camera footage of the incident was aired on a local TV station and people from all over offered their support. A neighbor donated a new table and cooler to David and droves of people showed up to buy scones, which his sister makes. The young entrepreneur told reporters that he was saving up to buy an Xbox and then a local business stopped by his stand and gave him one.
The outpouring of support has restored the boy’s faith in humanity and his father says they’ve been overwhelmed by the kindness of strangers. “That shows him that there is more good than bad in the world," the senior Hove says. “And that’s a positive thing.” Now that he’s back in business and has the Xbox he was working toward, David says he’s going to save up for a car next.
