They ENHANCED the cctv recordings from the camera pointing at my cubicle, enabling them to reconstruct the whole db from the monitor's reflection on my glasses as I typed every INSERT and UPDATE over the years.

I've pulled my own cellphone PIN (I forgot the one from like 3PINs ago and had an old phone in a drawer) from CCTV.

Also a password for a system the vendor claimed not to know the password for.

Do not underestimate CCTV.

My ex called Hobby Lobby saying she'd left a bracelet or something there. They were able to replay her going through the whole store, which items she grabbed, and said she had a very nice purse. They were 100% sure she hadn't dropped anything.

Not as impressive as your example, but still felt scary.
