My neighbour won't stop feeding my cat

I have a rescue cat with a sensitive stomach. He is also getting fatter and fatter (he is long and tall but he is almost a stone!!).

A few months ago he started disappearing for long stretches and was off his food.

I had a text from someone last night to say he was there sheltering from the rain (got the number from his collar) and he goes there all day every day. Today she tells me he has had roast chicken and Dreamies. Vet has been on my case for months about weight loss and diabetes so I sent a text to this effect. She is now saying they don't give him treats that often but tbh he comes home (less and less often and) stuffed. The neighbours do not even have cats so they bought the Dreamies for him I guess.

Feel like they are exposing him to health risks and trying to steal him away. I could just cry

It might be a good idea to keep the texts.

Send them a vets' bill.

My cat visits one of my neighbours (actually she visits this family and Norman), they were feeding her, they thought she was a stray.

I took some cat milk round because their little boy both loves feeding her and has just got a baby brother so I didn't want to deprive him of some fun.

Thanks for all suggestions. I'm a lawyer so could write a letter myself. Quite like police suggestions though. I'm keeping him in for now; he was a rescue cat and I think he might need to re-learn where exactly he lives!
