What would you do if you walked out to find your car not where you left it...

$4000 DAMAGE! How far and fast did it roll?

You must be young, you didn't accept blame for not thinking to engage the brake or transmission.

Nothing as serious as having 4 grand in damage. Really sorry to hear about that. Glad it didn't make it into traffic though, or hit someone elses car. Could have been a LOT worse. Good luck with the fix though. You going to try to get after market parts in place? I would. Ask and se if it's possible. Can't hurt.

I did. They said no. Insurance is only going to pay for what I had, and since I had no after market parts, they will not get them. Oh well. I tried. :)

Fabulous...I dropped everything and RAN...caught her and was able to stop her. Whew..

I haven't forgotten the brake since!

Yeah I doubt I will either. What really gets me is when I was running inside I was like... I feel like I'm forgetting something.

About 50 yards or so. Don't know how fast. Nobody saw it. Not gonna lie, I'm pretty sure to see that happening I probably would have giggled. I mean, seriously, how comical would it have been to see a car just roll away lol. Also, it is MY car and I don't let other people drive MY car so obviously it was ME who didn't park the car properly.
