The incident occurred on 11/13/2019 @ 8:30am. I had started my 2014 toyota rav4, pulled out from under the carport apprx. 25ft and put the vehicle in park and fully engaged the parking brake I always do this if I need to leave the vehicle running for any reason. In this case I was heating the interior as it was chilli. I went back inside my home to get the animal crate that contained my cat who needed to go to the vet. As I was loading the crate into the front seat the vehicle began moving in reverse.
