Regardless of the overall picture I have seen a rudder in a 182 trashed by winds because it wasnt locked, Im not infering what the picture is but I know what peeled and buckled aluminium looks like. Let's face it its relatively rare but if its parked facing the wrong direction with strong winds it doesnt matter how modern it is with nosewheel connected to rudder or whatver it can get damaged.
