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.

Rain moved in Saturday afternoon and the chance for it will stick around through the seven day forecast.
It becomes very unsettled across our area with clounds and showers again Sunday. The best chance for rain is in the morning and afternoon thunderstorms are possible towards our south.
Sunday is cool but we do warm up well into the 80s by Tuesday. With the warm weather comes a better chance for thunderstorms.
