I got that. I myself live in a hot climate where the cars turn into disgusting saunas when left 1 minute too long in the sun. Never have I ever even considered driving through someone's yard to park in the shade of their tree, even when I knew the the alternative was returning to a steering wheel that's too hot to touch.
Those whiny workers, feeling like they're entitled to shade in the summer in the South! They should be grateful for their van without the AC! That's shading them, isn't it? Peasants.
I know someone that had a similar thing happen. The driver drove off the road and crashed into his yard, taking out a large rhododendron. The company insurance on the van was more than a year out of date and they were really fishy to deal with.
