Crazy story!! Similar situation happened to me.
I parked in my girlfriends driveway. I come out to find half of my car blocking the sidewalk. I asked everyone in the house if they moved my car. Luckily it didnt roll all the way into the street.
Now I know to yank that e-brake harder when I park.

It's been a while I don't remember where we were but it was at the parking garage. As we were walking out, a car without the "driver" slowly rolling down and hit another parked car. We had to tell the parking attendant....

What about all the other cars out there with LSD?
The compression of the engine is what helps the parking brake hold the car in place. If a properly driven car will not harm the gears in the differential, a little bit of constant weight on the gears while the car is still, will NOT be detrimental in any way, shape or form to the diff.
As a matter of fact, anybody who tracks their S, and then pulls into the paddock and sets the parking brake....
I think this thread makes number six I have read where a car rolled that was NOT in gear.
I do canyon runs once in a while. I get my shit hot. When I pull into my driveway which is relatively flat, you think I'm gonna yank up on my parking brake?
