OKLAHOMA CITY ( KFOR ) – A warm winter coat is now with its rightful owner, after being handed over to a shivering volunteer at a polling place on Election Day.
“You have to return a kindness somehow,” said Larry Smith.
News 4 first talked to Smith last Friday . He was searching for the kind stranger who gave him a big and warm winter coat while volunteering at Crown Heights Christian Church, a polling place, on election day.

On that cold Tuesday morning, the marine veteran was only wearing short sleeves.
“After about two hours there, I started shivering, and my shoulder muscles were tightening up,” Smith said.
A kind stranger gave him the coat after Smith refused several times. But, Smith lost the contact information and called News 4 for help.
A few days later, News 4 received an email and a picture of proof.
News 4 sent the picture to Smith.
