If I'm not mistaken, to repo a jet you simply confiscate the log book. My father used to deal with bankruptcies for a predecessor to KPMG in the late 70s/early 80s and had to repo a Worldways (the 1st one) 707 at Toronto International Airport. He had no idea, so he called a pilot relative and was told that he needed to get out to the plane and take the log-book. No pilot worth their merit would fly without it. Never verified whether this is true, but these things don't exactly have door locks and little 'bleep bleep' security things on them. (After 'commandeering' the plane, the CBC used it for a documentary/movie on the Escape from Iran that was supposedly 'masterminded' by the Canadian Embassy. Of course, the flight that left Tehran was a Swissair DC-10 I believe, and only very recently did the US government acknowledge that it was a completely black-ops operation...)
