I agree with this. Just a few months ago, I was in a parking lot on a pretty windy day. A newer Mercedes thought it would "play it safe" by parking all by itself in the corner of the parking lot...down the hill. I happened to be exiting the store when a massive gust of wind picked up, sending a shopping cart careening down the hill/parking lot as it picked up more and more speed, and it absolutley SLAMMED into the side of this Mercedes. The damage was unbelievable considering it was only a shopping cart. The cart itself was sent almost entirely over the roof of the car. The problem was that the car was so alone in the middle of nowhere in the parking lot that the cart had a large amount of time to pick up speed. If it had been parked with the rest of the cars, it would never have the opportunity to sustain such a brutal hit. Just a word of warning for you "corner of the lot" parkers.
