I don't remember any "coffee shops", or for that matter, any places near 
Simmons Loop which were withing walking distance. Sounds like "Urban Legend" 
to me. PRCo and PATransit rules forbid leaving a car unattended. And if, do 
to an emergency situation (a coffee shop would not qualify), a car had to be 
left unattended the reverser handle should have been placed in the 'locked' 
or forward position and removed to prevent moving of the car. Again, sounds 
like urban legend to me. If it did happen, the operator most likely was 
unemployed after that.
