Hit something?

In your first post, you state that you have only had the car for four months. Seeing that there is still paint on the pulley surface, I would think that it is more than likely a new pulley, otherwise all the paint would have been worn off by now. Sounds like the previous owner had a problem and replaced the pulley with a new one. Might have over tightened the bolt and lead to the failure. A lot of people think they have to tighten every bolt as tight as they can.

The pulley still has ALL of it's paint except where it has road rash.
The bearing's rubber looks new too.
The belt show no signs of use.
I think you called it correctly.
