Luring a wild cat

I don't have any tips for ya, but that would be awesome if it was your old cat.
Hey, now that you think he's back, do you still think he was stolen, or do you think now that he might have simply escaped last year?
I remember when that happened.

Good lock!

It's possible she escaped, but I'd still figure she was stolen. One of the neighbor's hates cats and has been known to steal or kill any cat that I own (just haven't figured out which neighbor it is)

This has happened before, and the cat came back after it had been 'removed' from the backyard. A friend nearly 10 miles away called me about 4 years ago and says. "Hey man, Hemi just walked past my house, looks like she's heading in your direction." (Hemi being a tortie I used to own, who was poisoned 2 years ago by a neighbor).

I had him go get her and take her inside till I got there to pick her up. He figured that my neighbor grabbed the cat, took her out in the middle of nowhere and dropped her.

The current Tortie in question was named Demon... Because she had "horn" markings on her forehead in her fur. along with a patch on her neck/chin that looked like Lucifer's Goatee. No two torties have the same exact markings/pattern, so I'm sure it's Demon I saw earlier.
