The pilot taxied the airplane from the north side of a building to the south side. He set the parking park and secured the engine to load a passenger along with some baggage. The pilot than started the engine. While the passenger was looking for a pair of sunglasses, the pilot looked down to set the transponder code. With the engine at 'low' rpm, the airplane rolled approximately 60 feet. Neither the pilot nor the passenger was aware of its movements until the collision. After the collision, a 'shower' of gasoline was observed, which the pilot thought was water at the time. He secured the electrical master, and released the barking brake with the intention of pushing the airplane back. Once outside, the pilot realized the water was in fact gasoline, so no attempt was made to move the airplane. After the accident, a FAA Inspector set the parking brake then attempted to push the airplane. He could not get the airplane to roll.
Probable Cause: The pilot's failure to maintain a visual lookout.
