I drove into a parking spot, put my car into park & released my foot from the brake. The car rolled back as if it was in reverse. I applied the brakes, shifted the gear into drive & drove back up into the space. I put the car back into park, released the brakes, only to have the car roll back again. I pulled back up into the parking spot, shifted back into park & this time put on parking brakes. I got out of the car & went into the store. When I came back, my car would not start. Not only would it not start, it would not make any sort of noise (which is how I knew it wasn't the battery). I called for a tow & the tow truck operator was able to get it to start in gear neutral.
