Sounds plausible to me. If the car was at the end of the hauler, it's entirely possible some jerk just slashed the tires. A sharp object into the sidewall is all it would take to render the tire useless. Surely you have insurance on the trip, right? I would make sure they are at least notified so you are covered in the event other damage is undiscovered. To think the worst is always an option, but to plan for it makes more sense.
As far as omens go? You got a Boxster, it doesn't get much better than that, believe me!
