1026R backhoe drops overnight

Noticed my backhoe dropped overnight. It's not touching the ground but it did drop enough to notice. Is this normal? I'm new to the hydraulic world. Maybe I should use the pins or let the backhoe rest on the ground when not in use. Should make it harder to steal if someone wants to try and dodge some bullets. After reading some other posts on here and in some other areas it looks like this is normal. Thanks

Tomfive is right on the mark about putting hydraulic equipment in a safe mode when it's parked or unattended. Children are always drawn to tractors and such. I playful pull on a lever or pedal can have terrible consequences. Thanks Tomfive for the safety reminder :)
