It might be just me but I thought everyone left their car in gear when parked just in case the handbrake did fail especially on hills, and even if your car is an auto putting it in park does the same job. My V40 has a tendency to roll back if I don't use the footbrake when applying the handbrake, but I always, always leave the car in 1st gear when parked.
Better to be safe than p*ssed off.
