You can freaking roll standing still should you move or try to brake on a steep enough grade. Over you go. There are some barns Ive backed a 18 wheeler to up it's tractor ramp and against a fence on ice and snow forcing a turn away that includes a incredible risk of flopping over. Something like a 40 degree hillside. I think tractors can take a 60 degree slope. but that's for military spec vehicles.

I read the Twitter discussion from the guy that took the picture in post #2. He said the driver lost his brakes coming down the hill, but managed to avoid going into a model home.
I don't know how much credence to give a witness like that. The lack of apparent securement caught my eye. -
As did the stone enbankment on the far side.Lepton1 Thanks this.

Same here.....no signs of broken chains, torn straps or anything and in a residential area.
Lost driver attempting a private delivery from / for a moving co? Maybe bootlegging the jeep for cash? LTL? Certainly not a load of classics......
But really, mind you I'm not a parking lot guy at all....but what is that dang crew cab doing on the upper deck? Every time I see a PPL his big iron is down stairs and or on the tail.......
Dunno wassup here.....too many questions......Co driver have anything to say yet or is he out on the 5th? -
Bootlegging kind of went out around the time I got involved into trucking. You can bet there were oppertunities for that kind of profiteering. Essentially piracy. If you get caught... you are going away.... lol.Lepton1 Thanks this.
