No, never did find it... But I'm pretty sure now that pen really was his. It was just a mildly unlikely coincidence that he had one just like mine.
I felt at the time that I'd been conned out of some things in the past, and that had me set a bit too hard on "not being fooled again", so I overdid it.
One particular case I remember is exchanging toy cars with someone, and them claiming later that day that they lost the car i just gave them. So I spent a good few minutes looking for it with them. I even insisted "no, let's look again" when they suggested we give up. I felt bad that they'd lost out on our exchange, so I gave them back the car they'd given me, just to ease their misfortune. Only to hear the next day how they'd been bragging about fooling me. Gah.
