What do you want to bet that the brakes weren't set?

That would be odd. Why would the brakes be set if no one was on
board? Makes it a bit tough to tow.

So it doesn't roll away in the wind all on it's own with no one on
board?

Or, if they were expecting to tow it in the immediate future, where
were the chocks to make sure it doesn't roll away in the wind all on
it's own until they got around to towing it?



They'll jump all but the best chocks if the wind is strong enough. Mostly
it's airplanes with the engines out back that do this most easily, but
they'll all do it in enough wind.
