2 Brand Rear Tires - the hard way. (Delivery Problems)

[Uncle Bob]

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!

Thanks, Uncle Bob... I am still not trusting the whole story as the driver actually LIVES in Dallas, so I guess he just left it unprotected in some empty trucking lot while he went home or either that it happened at his house, or possibly while joyriding. I am not entirely pleased as you can imagine with the inability to reach the driver via his cell phone (ever since the original phone call) nor the fact that he is hanging around home for a few days before he heads to New Orleans to deliver the cars that people are waiting for, but I guess you get what you pay for and I should have paid for professional transport.

BTW, I do have insurance coverage on it since before it was picked up on Saturday. I use GEICO with military discount, so actually the addition of this Boxster S only raised my insurance by ~$40/month.
