Second roller of the week. This one from the top to the bottom. Please park in gear and if you're walking through the carpark be vigilant.
This one almost hit a child.
EDIT - if you see one let the council know. The more its reported the more likely they are to make a change.

Yesterday's roller...
It's a good idea to always leave your car in gear when parking on a slope.
