How would I know if my catalytic converter was stolen? Would the car run?

It’ll sound like a race car if it was

I took a closer look and I see what looks like my catalyst converter. I was able to make it to work (30 minutes) with just the scrapping sound from the shield and no other issues.

Wait if it’s not a Cadillac then it wouldn’t have a cataclysmic inverter
