One of the girls I worked with bumped into a stick shift sedan at my old workplace. The e-brake wasn't pulled, so the car came out of gear and rolled down a hill and hit a tree and then rolled onto the supporting cable on a power line, almost taking out the power line altogether. The damage on the car where it had been "bumped" by my coworker was non-existant, not even a scratch, but the car was on a hill so it was enough to knock it out of gear.
Pull the e-brake at all times if parked. It helps the transmission and won't let the above happen.
