Say you were bringing the car home on a trailer when the trailer developed a puncture and having no way of repairing it you thought it wise to leave the car in the car park, rather than risking the couple of miles to home, while you took it to be repaired as it was still driveable with no weight on it. Once puncture was repaired you went back and picked it back up and took it home.

Surely they would be a little more lenient if you try the "I did it for safety reasons". Well thats if they believe you.
