A mystery like that would bug me and I would have to know WHY the coolant was gone from the tank.

Did you have the car in for service recently?

Perhaps your coolant tank has a crack, its a very common occurrence on our Boxsters as the plastic ages and becomes more brittle.

Check for wet carpet in the trunk near the tank or a puddle by the rear passenger side tire under the car.
