The current answer is UNKNOWN.  The incident created a serious safety risk because the unattended vehicle was able to roll freely through a public parking lot where pedestrians and other vehicles were present.

I had no indication that the vehicle would move after I exited it.  I am reporting this incident because the vehicle
