Looking at those, my first thought is that the deck overhang past the
horizontal support is rather large for such a thin deck, especially with
the weight of the vertical fluted fascia panel perched on the end.

Also noticeable that the rear wheels of the silver people carrier are
actually past the horizontal support - compare with other parked cars
whose rear wheels are more or less sitting on the horizontal beam
underneath (see image 23).

You are probably only seeing a small number of the cars, the front
wheel drive cars having already been moved

The indcident happened at 3.30am, and it was probably pretty empty.
Aren't all the three vehicles shown FWD?

The (what I believe is a) Transit Connect Minibus (not a 'people
carrier' by our normal definitions) certainly is. ;-)

That said, I'm not sure all FWD vehicles could be guaranteed to drag
themselves clear with the rear wheels hanging over the edge, depending
on what sort of obstructions are hanging down under the vehicle and
possibly caught up on the edge (especially with a potentially smooth
car park floor)?
