something fishy .... dog snatchers?

I was out looking for Dini following some leads. I got a call from an indian man asking me if i had found my dog., then i said no. he then asked me to meet with him. so we met at BK1. he obviously had a dog in mind but he wanted to make sure that my dog's hair was cut. when he had verified that, he asked how much am i willing to pay to get the dog back. i gave him a figure. he then took me to a friend's house... but in a very suspicious manner. He told me to drive slowly as if not to get the neighbours attention. then he asked me to drive into an alley which was fortunately blocked by al orry so I had to park right in front of this house. This man Christopher then proceeded to 'chat' with the dog owner. this owner had purportedly bought the dog a few days ago but since his father does not want it he has to sell. it. what got me really suspicious was the way the dog was hidden. i mean literally hidden out of sight under some boxes, so much so that even neighbours may not be aware that there is a dog in the house . it took a while to get the dog out so i peeped over the wall. finally the dog emerged. It was not my dog. it was a silky ... i think. so i said it was not my dog and asked them to pass the word around for my dog. christopher then got into my car and reassured me he's got a few friends in Bandar Puteri who's mad about dogs and they may have my dog? (which didn't quite make sense to me -i.e. they must have 'bought' a dog from someone). I made a mistake. Christopher asked me to show him where i live so that he can deliver the dog to my house and he also asked on the way if i had other dogs.. In my moment of distress, I wasn't thinking. I showed him where I live although i didn't stop. and yes, i did say i have 2 old dogs still. The weird thing was he asked me if i want to buy dogs... I told him I'm not interested in any more dogs. My old girls are more than i could handle. He may be just a middle man, I suspect...again this is based on what i observed ... he asked me to give him two days to find my dog and then he will get in touch with me. I don't know what to make of this situation but I do smell something fishy. I'm not a suspicious person by nature but I can't help feeling that there was something not quite right with this picture. Maybe I am over-reacting in my moment of distress. I hope this is all there is. this man christopher is also a car wash person but he goes to the client's house - the whole works for RM160. anyway, I may go make a police report just in case. I don't think Dini was stolen although my initial thought was that. I had come home to find the sliding door ajar. Maybe the man needed to confirm it was this house that the dog was taken...I don't know. like I said i was just speculating and allowing my imagination to go wild. I have never been in such a situation before. I only have this man's mobile number but apparently i cannot trace the number unless i have legit reasons. so another big lesson learnt.
