Attempted theft of Catalytic Converter from under car

TYPE: Attempted theft of Catalytic Converter from under car
WHERE: 3500 Block of Tilden
WHEN: Sunday morning 12:50 am
SUSPECTS: -
CHARACTERISTICS: There was an attempted theft that occurred on Saturday night/Sunday morning, November 2nd, at approximately 12:50 AM on the 3500 Block of Tilden. A resident heard a loud noise outside of their house then heard what sounded like grinding metal on metal. The resident went to the front door and didn’t see anything but the sound stopped suddenly. Then, the resident said in a loud voice, “Hello”. Just then, a dark figure came out from the street side next to the resident's SUV parked out front of their house and started walking north on Tilden. The resident yelled, “Hey” and the person starting running, then they got into a car and drove off quickly, screeching tires as they left. It was discovered that the person had tried to steal the catalytic converter from underneath the car. They had used a chain cutter and had nearly cut all the way through one of the metal pipes to which the converter is attached. When the resident took it to get repaired, the repair place advised that what they were really after was platinum and rodium, which the catalytic converter is made of, since these metals can apparently be sold for several thousands of dollars when enough is accumulated.
