OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - A state Legislature candidate says his car was stolen while he campaigned door-to-door in a residential area in Oklahoma City.

KFOR-TV (https://bit.ly/1VI9OgS ) reports that House of Representatives candidate Forrest Bennett was knocking on doors Saturday morning when he turned around and noticed his vehicle was gone.

Bennett says he left his white Toyota sedan car running while talking to a constituent on a front porch for no longer than a minute.

Bennett says the car contained a lot of his campaign materials, including a banner, cards and buttons. It also contained a key to the P.O. Box from which he receives campaign contributions.

Bennett says the situation explains his stance on improving neighborhood safety and decreasing crime.
