Modern day begging... but good that you gave them the benefit of doubt. It is possible that they lost everything. If I were you, I'd have shown that police form to a Qatari or someone who can read Arabic to double check.. but that's just me...

Oh.. and king007's idea is good! Pretend you have a friend in the police dept and that you can help. Then see if he runs away. If not, then well.. your benefit of doubt is well placed.
