Air tag shows wrong location

One of my Air Tags is showing it’s at the local mall. I verified the air tag is at the house and has never left. It’s on the dogs tag sitting on a shelf. Only worn once. I have not been to that mall for months.

is it possible someone has the same Air Tag serial number? This is very odd and unreliable.
