Update on catalytic converter theft 9-8-21:
I spoke to our across the street neighbor, Rick, on Friday. It was him coming down the steps at the end of our Nest doorbell video. He heard the sound of the saw the thief used to remove my converter and correctly guessed someone's car was being vandalized. He just didn't realize it was mine right across the street because the guy was crouched down where he couldn't see him.
Rick saw the car waiting for the thief down the street and took off toward it to try and take a picture, it was blurry and didn't turn out. However, he said it was a silver Honda Civic with damage on the passenger side. I'm going to check on Next Door. I think I remember an earlier post where someone else had an encounter with this car. And that they shared pictures of it in an earlier post.
He also got a glimpse of the thief as he got in the car. Rick said he had on light cargo pants and a dark baseball cap. I'm going to give this info to the police on Monday to add to my report. I'm so thankful for the extra info but was terrified at the thought that he could have been shot in the process of getting it!
Just wanted to give everyone local a heads up to be on the lookout for the car in their neighborhood in case they're cruising around looking for more people to rob.
