Letters: Philadelphia tow truck company owner Lew Blum's towing sob story falls on deaf ears

LEW BLUM, you of all people deserve what you get. Your vulture towing company, and companies like it, hold citizens hostage every day. You charge outrageous prices and fees, and demand cash. I was on the hook of one of your trucks while on an emergency heating call, on the lot with the permission of the owner. I came out, and your man demanded $150 cash. Wouldn't provide a receipt. You want to talk about the Philadelphia Parking Authority power grab, but you deserve everything you get, sir!
