Put your truck in your garage & make sure to close the garage door.

Discreetly plant some catnip in another neighbors yard.

Cats don’t like certain smells like citrus, cinnamon, and other things. There is a spray you can buy that uses this thought (you can make your own as well). I bought that spray from Amazon for like $10-15 and I found it kept cats from using my garden as a litter box.
The spray I bought spells like Fireball so if your cool with your truck smelling like that then I would give it a try.

Stay up and shoot it in the butt with an air soft gun a few times/nights. It'll stop.

Fine the owner... again, and again, until it takes.
And if there is nothing about cats in the HOA bylaws, good luck with the lien sticking

another idea. go buy a laser pointer. go outside at 1 am and play with the cat. share some cat nip and point the laser all over its owner's vehicles.

Get a plastic owl and put it on the roof every night

I don’t want the cat on my property in the first place, so let me go interact with it when I should be sleeping because like most normal people, I work, and it totally makes sense to make the thing I don’t want on my property like me.

frick the neighbor's wife in front of the cat to show it who's boss.

Do you know what neighbor the cat belongs to and have you talked to them yet?
I'd give them 3 options....
1. Start keeping their pet indoors
2. They can pay for a new paint job on your truck to fix the scratches from their cat
3. You either call animal control or put out traps on your own. Then the neighbor can go find their pet at the shelter. And they can deal with whatever the city / parish may fine them for if there's a local ordinance about not keeping control of their pets.

Sprinkle some cayenne pepper on the hood.

I abhor the herd of outdoor cats in my neighborhood- digging bushes, spraying siding, turds wherever, catching yard bunnies back when we had them, harassing birds and squirrels...
they are a scourge on birds
Roaming cats are a major threat to songbirds, killing billions annually in the U.S. through predation, impacting populations significantly (especially fledglings), spreading disease, competing for food, and contributing to habitat disruption, making keeping pet cats indoors a key action for bird conservation.
Coyote decoys work at keeping canada geese and cats away, but you have to keep moving them.

or a paintball gun, that and my dogs keep them out of my yard

Just curious, what is the cat actually doing that bothers you? Leaving footprints on your hood?
