The neighbor was on to me right away. Seems he remembered the last practical joke I played on him. Some guys just don't don't see the humor in waking up to find their yard full of political signs, all of the opposing party.
Well, here is the plan for Peppie La Pew . I have a Havaheart trap set with dog food in it. If he (or she) comes back tonight and takes the bait I'll stand off (up wind) 50 yards and blast little stinky into next week. After things settle down (police reports & such) I'll dispose of the little varmint proper like with a burial fit for a skunk. I'm gonna take it to city hall and drop it off in the night depository.

Another entrance
We were messing around in Coffee Cave the other day. It has a bunch of entrances.
Right in the middle of the day a skunk dashed in front of us into one entrance. I mentioned rabies. My companion, Tom, who works at a national park, mentioned that they see a lot of skunks during the middle of the day. Me, I have killed rabid skunks during the middle of the day.
We didn't use the entrance the skunk used. We were prudent and used another one.
How much more conservative can you get?

Moth Balls
For critters like that and those that crawl under your house to raise families or die, use moth balls to get rid of them. A great toy you can make is get a piece of 3/4 inch PVC pipe with an air compressor to shoot the moth balls a greater distance than just throwing them by hand so the area is covered with moth balls. The smell will drive them out. Also works well in attics. The smell will not bother you in the house, that is unless your house has lots of holes in it.

Nice..... I tried your trick, hit a car on the road, and shot the neighbor's window out. I have not seen any skunks though! Maybe it is the aircompressor running full tilt!

A more common approach is to tie a long string to the cage before the skunk gets in. Then, with the skunk in the cage and you at the far end of the string, you drag the cage/skunk into a body of water and wait for the bubbles to stop. Then you can take him to city hall.
That being said, I wouldn't have the heart to kill one unless it was acting unusual or threatening. My parents have several on their property, and they are generally not a problem. The dogs, cats, and other animals don't seem to be bothered by them either. My mother was sprayed by one once, but that was because she mistook it for the barn cat in the darkness and reached down to pet it - can't really blame the skunk for that. Another time a skunk stood up on its back legs and hissed at my mother. In the middle of the day. That earned him a dirt nap in an undisclosed location courtesy of a pellet rifle.
