If it was a Toyota...

Seriously, there's no word of terrain but if there was a mild incline 
involved, if the car was in a higher gear and there was sufficient distance for 
the car to attain, say 15 - 20 MPH, I doubt a chain link fence would hold it 
back.  The fence was most probably intended to keep pedestrians out.

Remote starter on a manual transmission.  Whoever installed it probably 
bypassed the clutch interlock.
