Maybe you did, but just remember, always park it in gear so it won't roll!

He did say he was in the dirt. Could have just been the unstable ground that cause it to roll off the kickstand enough to drop.

How's the bike doing? Get the damage fixed?

I superglued the turn signal lens so it should be fine, but the clutch lever will have to be replaced (bummer...). I also found that the shifter got bent out a little and now gets caught on the kickstand when downshifting, but a little pounding with a hammer will fix that as soon as my rommate gets back with my hammer. I'm not gonna do anything about the windscreen, as the crack is too small and unnoticeable to care about.

How about this. I was running late for work one morning, roll the bike out of the garage and place it between my car and my roommates truck. I walk back into the garage to close the door and hear a horrendous crash. I look back and the bike has fallen, bounced off my Impala SS and is laying on my concrete driveway
The best I can figure is that when I rolled the bike out of the garage I still had the sidestand down and it must have been bumped backwards off the stop. Then when I walked away the pushed itself down and the bike fell.
Overall damage, scratches on the clutch lever, scratches on the bar end, dent on the Impala's fender, crease down the fender of the car where the bike rode down
Lesson learned.
P.S. Then that day it hailed and I got hail dings all over the hood of the Impala!!!

At least it was the car and not the bike that suffered most of the damage

You might want to consider applying some sort of patch job to the windscreen as cracks tend to spread over time.
