so like the good samaritin i am i push the car back into the space it was in. now as soon as i let go of the car it immediately starts to roll back. so i think to myself, how could this person not have noticed that their car was going to roll back? i take a look inside the car again and notice a "hello kitty"... something or other card on the dashboard with a bunch of chinese symbols on it, and some hair ties laying around in the car.... so it's self evident. female asian driver.
so i put a bottle behind the rear tire and leave a note on the windshield. "next time either put your car into gear when you park it, or put the f***ing ebrake on."
and i'm spent
