...In an underground garage, so no real danger of it rolling away apart from skulduggery.

Currently have left it in gear, no handbrake to avoid any danger of the handbrake seizing on...

Correct or incorrect?

Correct, very little need for the handbrake when parked tbh.

Then again, I don't park on hills too often.

I park my cars as I would any other time and don't worry about it. Never had a problem over the past few decades.

Same here, I often go away for 3 weeks and I may then not use my car for another 2 or so weeks, I just get in turn the key and rag away.

Your car may have sat on a wind swept compound for 3 weeks or more when it was first built, it might have even been on a boat for 3 weeks if it was built a long way away and was first on and last off.

Could be a rather banal guessing game.

I am wearing red socks! True, or merely false?

I'd advise not leaving it underground in York though.

I've left my car at Heathrow for longer. Doubt your handbrake will seize after three weeks.. three months maybe
