    It was four wheel drive, so it may have been a manual transmission for off-roading, which would be fairly common in those parts. The fact that it was brand new suggests the possibility that they didn’t realize a manual can roll on a steep incline if the handbrake isn’t engaged (of course it could also have simply been left in neutral, regardless of the transmission type).
