Also heard a story of a guy getting his King Air ramp checked and the inspector noticed part of the CLOSE--> sign on the door was rubbed off so he told the guy his plane wasn't airworthy. So the guy goes in the plane and comes out with a roll of duct tape and a sharpie and makes himself a placard. The tool from the fuzzdo couldn't argue and he was free to go.

I've done this several times on numerous aircraft.
