Car rental agent using meta glasses while looking at my credit card

Hi all, so as the title pretty much explains, I landed at melbourne airport earlier today and picked up my car rental from Europcar. After inspecting the usual required documents, I noticed the agent stare at my credit card a little too long for my comfort, also flipping behind where the cvv is. Thats when I realised he was wearing Meta Glasses and I can clearly see the pinhole cameras though the recording light was not illuminated, so I cant prove that he was recording. I asked him if they were recording and he denied it immediately, but I cant help but feel uncomfortable about this. I have frozen my credit card in the mean time.

I would greatly appreciate any advice on whether I should pursue the car rental company about this, or maybe even the police? Im not sure if the police might even do anything about this though as I have no evidence, it was just what I saw. I did note down his name though and there were cameras in the car rental shop. Notifying the Europcars might also not lead to any meaningful outcome. I am mainly concerned for other customers that might have fallen prey to this agent and if he did have malicious intent.

Thank you!
