Little story from moving day.... two days ago...
It was near the end of the move when Mickey and I were in the back of the U-Haul lifting the last piece of furniture to haul in to the house. Scott and Mike had already started to head in with the top piece when suddenly the 26 foot long U-Haul started to roll backwards. All of us dropped everything and ran for the Cab of the truck and I heard beth yell out "Timmy is in there!" I managed to get the door of the U-Haul open, Scott some how managed to reach in and depress the brake and Mike got it in park. All of this was pulled off while we were running along side the truck. Tim had apparently turned the key and shifted the gear, and it seems the parking brake had not been set. We were on top of a hill when this happened so that U-Haul was fast on its way to a house at the bottom.
We were less then seconds from a major disaster. Praise the Lord that it turned out well!!!
Chain of mistakes that lead to the problem...
Mike who drove the truck left the keys in the truck,
and did not set the break. Tim then asked me if he could go in the cab, and I thinking that it be safe (assumed no key and etc), said ok. That is all it took. Had any one of those not happened, the problem would not have occurred.

I didn't know you were moving either. Did I miss a journal? Will go back and look. Glad Tim and everyone/everything else is safe. How scary that could have been!
