I'm talk about pushing it in a direction of travel which does not correspond to the gear it's in.
More specifically being aggressively forced in the opposite direction to that of the engaged gear.
This has always been my fear as well. I'm hyper vigilant about the gear box in general. I'd rather fix an e-brake or just keep a chock in the trunk or the passenger footwell.

I once had my car towed in NYC ($350). Somebody said to me "Dude you scewed up, you must not have parked it in gear, you made it too easy for them".
My first thought was "good thing I didn't have it in gear with these tow truck clowns."
