Coupla years ago, a farmer paralell parked an old beater pickup in front of a local bank, left the keys in it, and when he came out the pickup was gone.
Here's the topography. From where the pickup was parked in front of the bank, the street slopes gently to the south, the direction the pickup was pointed. The street then drops off fairly steeply for about three blocks and levels off, with an Oerscheln's farm store on the bottom.
When the farmer came out of the bank and saw his pickup AWOL, his first thought was that one of his buddies was playing a trick on him, so he walked around a couple of blocks trying to find the pickup before reality set in.
The farmer had forgotten to leave the pickup in gear or set the parking brake, so----all by itself, the pickup rolled down the block, rolled several blocks down hill, and rolled to a stop by itself on the lawn next to Oerscheln's parking lot.
If there was any oncoming traffic involved, no one ever heard about it.
