| Description of the problem | I parked my manual transmission in the bank flat parking lot. I put it in n' and pulled the e brake and placed my keys in the cup holder of the jeep. I walked inside and waited in line until someone told me a red jeep was going backwards down the main road. I ran out of the bank, down the road to find my jeep stopped by a brick wall with the brake still pulled. Not only did it drive backwards on a very busy road it made a left hand turn out of the parking lot and then again at the light where it ran into the wall. Lucky for everyone it was a good driver and did not hit anyone or any car. Two men who recovered the jeep where shocked to find no one in it. |
