Same thing happened to me last week

My '99 9-3 w/ 61K did the exact same thing last week. In my case I was 1 hour away from home on a sunday with no AAA, or cell phone. I did not smell or hear anything funny until the pully broke and the belt shredded. I found the pulley on the road and it was melted all to hell.
The dirtbag at the garage I got towed to charged me 2 hours labor, on something I could have done in less than an hour! On top of that he insinuated that I should have heard a noise related to this problem 5K miles ago.
It seems there have been many complaints about this recently. This could almost be as big of a problem as the DI. Wish I had an idler pulley and a belt in my trunk too.
To be honest, I didn't see this one coming.
