A man whose car was towed by mistake says he has received a refund from the towing company.
PHILADELPHIA -
FOX 29 got results for a pizza shop customer whose car was towed away while he was enjoying an extra-large pie.
Denis Schmitt's 2010 Honda Civic was hauled away from the parking lot outside Plaza Pizza at 3rd and Spring Garden Saturday night.
Lew Blum towing charged Schmitt $205, claiming the parking lot is for customers only.
But Schmitt showed reporter Bruce Gordon receipts from the pizzeria that proved he was buying a pie moments before, and another moments after his car was towed.
Bruce went to bat for him and Lew Blum agreed to refund the towing charge.
A very happy Schmitt tells FOX 29 his $205 was refunded.

Still feels like summer out there. Highs in the mid 80s today. Just like summer, it'll be humid, with a chance of a few spotty showers late in the day.
Tomorrow, strong thunderstorms move through, from the same cold front that caused the midwest tornadoes. That front will also usher in cooler air for the holiday weekend.
