Default Get a ferry permit, or just fly it?

As long as there is no hypothetical structural damage, I'd have a
hypothetical pilot, unknown to you, hypothetically fly it to your A&P's shop
and it would hypothetically show up on their ramp one morning all by itself.
For all you know, they hypothetically taxied it all the way.

(Is the wing tip with the nav light easily removeable? Could you pull the
tip off and deliver it to your shop for repair then have a local A&P install
it?)

If you've got a small problem with your plane, do you bother with a ferry
permit, or do you just fly it if you think it's safe?

Hypothetical: Say your (shared) plane has gotten some damage, say for
instance a wingtip strobe/nav light assembly got scraped off against a
hangar while it was being towed. Say that the wires are secured with duct
tape and the person who did the damage flew it home like that. Also say
that the company that does the work on your plane isn't at your home
airport. Would you wait for a good VFR day and fly it over to that
company, or would you go through all the hassle of getting a local
mechanic to inspect it and apply for a ferry permit?
