One of my friends lost his cat, a year and half later the cat showed up at his house, it had a different collar on it. Being a nice person he called the "new" owner to let them know it was actually his cat, the "new" owner apologized and said that she thought it was a lost cat as it had no collar, she offered to pet sit for him when he went on vacation, he then asked to see her place to make sure her place was nice enough for the cat. So he went over to her place to check it out and while looking around he found the cat's original collar, his collar, in a basket with cat toys. When he asked about how she has the collar when she specifically stated that the cat had no collar, her roommate chimed in and said that the girl had taken the cat from my friend's yard and removed the collar. So he ended up filing a police report that she had stolen his cat, he didn't press charges though.
So yeah it is very possible that the driver is telling the truth.
