Narrative:
Upon returning to the aircraft in the morning, we discovered that the logbook entries made in new york had been altered and placards moved. PF showed upper channel 'a' inoperative just like the original logbook entry, however, the placard had been moved to the 'B' side and the corrective action entry made in new york had been written over and changed. There was no signature or evidence of any mechanic work on the aircraft.
