kayreWords I heard today: "Mom, I've just been tail-ended, and there's no one in the other car!"
She was exiting a parking lot, and a parked car rolled into her. It's electronic, and the owner might have been in range of it with the fob-- but how does an electric vehicle get out of park with no weight on the driver's seat?
No one is hurt, and the car is driveable, but with quite a bit of damage-- the other car's bumper rode up over hers and hit the back hatch. Everyone was good-natured about it, even the police. One of the other owner's children was very excited about saying "hello" to the body cameras!

I assume the other car's insurance will pay for all your damage, but still, what a pain.
