Lost my idler pulley Fri.

Was in stop & go traffic, when I heard a god awful squealing, then bang the belt let go. I lost my power steering, alternator(battery light was on), water pump(car started to overheat). Managed to limp into an Exxon gas station that low & behold had a brand new Speed Yellow 996TT sitting in one of the garage bays. The garage/TT owner took a look, apparently the idler pulley came apart from fatigue cracks?? The 30k service was done 2k miles ago, a board search has turned up 2 others who lost their idler shortly after the 30k service. Any thoughts?

TIA
