My cat is indoor outdoor, with a collar and ID tag. She usually doesn't wander far. Twice now I've been out of town for a few days (so empty house) and have gotten a phone call, literally as we were driving back home, from a concerned neighbor down the street saying she had been sitting on their porch looking lost. I assured them that I lived nearby and had not abandoned her, that she did know how to get back inside if she wanted, and that I would be home imminently to assuage her loneliness.
So a collar doesn't necessarily make people not worry. :) (although I'm sure I wouldn't let her out without one)
