I'd go for the sprinklers or just aim the hose at the cat next time you see it.
I would trap it and then let it sit in the trap until the owner notices it's missing. If they never notice, well..........
Well if you are a diy electronics person, you could always rig up an ir led and ir receiver (break beam sensor) to a simple controller and something to scare them off. Water hose or loudspeaker. Or yeah just cage it and give it to animal control.
but I think the can of antifreeze tainted tuna fish is coming out..
I advocate water (hose, squirt gun, whatever) and talking to the owner.
The situation clearly needs to be dealt with, albeit in a civilized manner.
I feel about dogs (past bad experiences) like a lot of folks here seem to feel about cats. If I advocated shooting my neighbor's unleashed dog, I somehow think the response would be less than pleasant. Just saying, whether you like cats/dogs/wildebeest/etc or not, its not OK to perpetrate violence or cruelty.

I agree with you and hate people who are cruel to animals. With that said, There have been times when the neighbors stupid yappy dog is barking at 3 am I have been tempted to throw a hot dog loaded with rat poison over the wall. Or at least a few sleeping pills. Lack of sleep makes you think crazy thoughts. I would never do it but the though helps me get to sleep... at least until he starts barking again.You're absolutely right. I know I personally could watch someone who has abused a dog undergo several hours of torture and beatings while eating a sandwich. I'd sleep like a baby that night as well. Neither my sleep nor my digestion would suffer.

Could you electrify your fence for it?
Alas, I have a block wall, not a fence.
Trap it in a live trap & keep it in a cage, but alive & fed. Take a photo & print up a flyer with the pic of the cat; saying basiclly this:
"I have your cat, it won't stay off my property. If you ever want to see it alive again, claim it, swear to keep it out of my yard & pay a fee of $50. If I see it in my yard again, It dies."
You could make it look like the clasic "ransom note" with letters cut from magazines. You may not want to snuff the cat, but the owner doesn't know that.
Or you could use some non-toxic hair dye & turn it blue, or hot pink or green; then let it go with a note on it's collar saying "next time this cat trespasses on my property, it dies." Again, the owner doesn't know you won't snuff the cat.
Regards, GF.
Oh, and it's a cat. I hate cats. Seems like most people I know do. I have a complete hatred for them b/c my SWMBO has asthma and a horrific allergy to cats. Close quarters and ER here we come.
Forget the bb gun, grab a 22 and do some target practice. Your lawn will be cat shvt free before you know it.
Try feeding the remains to a local coyote. Everyone hypes eating locally sourced food these days...
Haha dude it was a joke. Get with the program... pretty sure 22 caliber rifles aren't legal in downtown Chicago anyways... on with life lol
Oh, and if you force fed my pregnant wife cat hair it would be one of your last acts. Just sayin'
I sympathize with your situation and hope you can find a non-lethal or painful way to deal with it. It sounds like the sprinkler may work best.
As far as the suggestions to kill the cat or otherwise harm it, this is not only illegal but downright screwed up. If I found out anybody shot my cat because he wandered in to their yard, I can guarantee that the retribution would be fast and brutal. In your case, buddy I would most likely do trhe following:
1. Kick your ass up and down the block.
2. Force feed your girlfriend cat hair and dander.
Then I would start the real harassment.
Live and let live. I understand your issue, but please respect other people's animals. The sprinkler thing is fine, lavender is great. But ****ing up someone else's animals, not cool at all.
