Narrative:
I drove the vehicle around hangar to the north side and parked it parallel to hangar door. I set gear to park and got off the vehicle to go inside the hangar for a few mins (1 or 2). When I went back to drive off, the van was not where I parked it. I scanned around and saw the vehicle beside an aircraft.
