Guy at work told me about it. Said they waited for the guy to land and after
he walked away they just went up, preflighted, and (according to the guy
that was describing it) put some kind of black box on the ignition (?) and
flew it off. His main shock was that they didn't even get permission to take
off. I had to explain non-towered vs. towered field operations.

Rats! I meant to tape that. How'd they repo it? I can't imagine that
that guy can fly.

I guess they staged the repo for TV, but I still like to know how they
got it back.

Just watched a show called Repo Men with Vincent (Pussy) Pastore.
They show a repo of an airplane, labelling it as a 1998 172. It's
pretty
clearly a '61 or so (swept tail but no rear window).
