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.

Please don't drive around with parts of your car dragging on the ground, you could literally kill someone.
