Police want to trace this silver Audi A3, which had cloned registration plates
A "good neighbour" was threatened with a six-inch knife when he disturbed an attempted burglary.
No one was hurt during the incident at Hurford Place, Cyncoed, Cardiff, on Friday at 11:00 BST.
South Wales Police said a neighbour confronted a man who jumped over the garden wall and was threatened with a knife.
"This was a very frightening incident for the gentleman who was simply being a good neighbour," said a spokesman.
The force released a CCTV image of a silver Audi A3 the suspect used after the incident.
A back door window was smashed but nothing was stolen and nobody was hurt.
The Audi A3 had a cloned number plate. The owner of a similar car which has the legitimate number plate is not connected to the investigation, the force said.
