Despite years of complaints, no one in city government appears to have taken any steps to fix the chronic courtesy-tow problem.
Police say the film’s production company hired a business called Greater Philadelphia Towing, which apparently stashed the cars atPolice, starting at 1 a.m., began ticketing cars at the plaza for unauthorized parking. George Smith Towing, which the plaza uses to deal with illegally parked cars there, towed and impounded them.
Michael DeFino, a lawyer for George Smith Towing, said 11 cars were towed from Wing Phat Plaza that day, including Layne’s. Marty O’Rourke, a PPA spokesperson, said that due to an apparent processing error a batch of police-issued tickets were not entered into the Parking Authority’s system, including the 11 from Wing Phat Plaza.O’Rourke said the PPA had no role in the towing incident.
Sharon Pinkenson, its executive director, said Friday her office often organizes street clearing for film shoots, but it only uses police tow trucks.
