Airframe and Engine logbooks are not legally required to be in the
plane.  Remember ARROW for the required documents?  

Airworthiness Certificate
Radio Licence
Registration (N number, etc)
Operating Limitations (i.e. placards and instrument markings)
Weight and Balance

At my former flying clubs the logbooks were kept under lock and key by
the chief A&P.
