The handbrake option does sound more appropriate as being the cause. That's my opinion over it all. So let us know what you find.
Just in case anyone's forgotten...


14mm is a HUGE amount of toe error. I'd be surprised if it was caused by something like a wheel clipping the kerb; more likely it came like that from the factory and the dealer didn't check the alignment during the PDI.
