This is rental car from alamo. Car was parked and engine was stopped on a little inclined roadside. All people exited car. Car was suddenly moved backwards and I had to jump in to the car and applied emergency brake. Car was stopped in the middle of the road. Right side door hit road sign and car damaged. It can be very very risky if there was other cars or people on the road.
