Car was parked, with emergency brake on and in gear on a hill. Owner heard a sharp metallic noise after car had been parked for 10 min. And saw car begin rolling downhill from the parked position, picked up speed and crashed. No one was in the vehicle, and when the crash was over it was found with E-brake disengaged and still in gear. *dimsii IVOQ entry posted after 12-12-02 cut over to artemis**764464
