Why Families Trust Us With Pomona Theft Bonds
After a theft arrest, you may feel embarrassed as well as scared. With 20+ years in business and 867+ clients helped, we start each call by checking whether your family needs a bond.
You already carry enough worry when you cosign. We send court-date and payment reminders to the people who signed, and we leave your references alone over a late balance.
Police arrest people at night and on holidays too. Call on a Sunday night and we start at once, first checking whether your relative is still at Pomona City Jail.
A licensed agent picks up your call and reads the booking details with you, from the booking number to the charge’s 2026 schedule track, in English or Spanish.
Our California Department of Insurance bail license, 1844710, appears in the footer of this site. Enter the number in the department’s Check a License search to confirm it before you sign anything.
Under the Pre-Arraignment Release Protocol, people arrested for petty theft or shoplifting go home without posting bail unless an exception applies. If your case fits, we say so, and you owe us nothing.
Theft Charges We Post Bonds For in Pomona
Since Proposition 47, $950 separates petty theft from grand theft for most property. Each card gives the charge’s 2026 Los Angeles County bail schedule track and whether a bond premium applies.
Taking property worth $950 or less is petty theft (PC 484, 488, 490.2); entering an open store to steal that much is shoplifting (PC 459.5). The 2026 schedule makes petty theft Cite and Release and shoplifting Book and Release, both $0.
Theft of property worth more than $950 is grand theft under PC 487(a), and 487(e) lets prosecutors combine related thefts to reach that total. The 2026 felony schedule still lists 487(a) as Book and Release: booked, then released at $0.
Over $950, theft from the person is grand theft under PC 487(c); PC 490.2 keeps smaller amounts petty theft. The schedule sends 487(c) to Magistrate Review, where a magistrate may release, add conditions or hold the arrestee without bond until arraignment.
Stealing any firearm is grand theft and a serious felony under PC 1192.7(c)(26), so zero-dollar release does not apply. The 2026 schedule sets $50,000 bail; at the standard 10% premium, that bond costs $5,000.
Buying or hiding goods you know someone stole falls under PC 496. At $950 or less with no disqualifying prior it is a misdemeanor; above that it can be a felony. Either way, both 2026 schedules make it Cite and Release.
Under PC 666, a petty theft can become a felony for someone who served time on a theft-type conviction and has a listed prior, such as certain violent felonies. The misdemeanor version is Cite and Release, and the felony is Book and Release.

Three Simple Steps to a Bail Bond
Call (888) 998-9511 at any hour. Once bail has a dollar amount, you sign the agreement and make a low down payment on the standard premium, 10% of bail.
We spread the premium balance over a written plan that fits your budget. Penal Code 1276.1 bars a second premium on the same bond, however long the case runs.
A licensed agent posts the bond with the facility holding your loved one. Each jail controls its own processing time, and we keep your family updated from posting until release.

Theft Bail Bond FAQ
These answers cover common theft bond questions, from shoplifting to cash bail. Keep the booking number handy when you call so we can match each answer to the charge.
Often nothing. Shoplifting under PC 459.5, $950 or less with no disqualifying prior, is Book and Release on the 2026 schedule, so police book and release the person on a promise to appear. Felony probation or parole sends the case to Magistrate Review, and a judge can set bail at arraignment.
Only for some theft cases. Grand theft of a firearm carries $50,000 before arraignment, and the Pre-Arraignment Release Protocol does not cover warrant arrests, where a judge sets bail on the warrant under PC 815a. The arraignment judge, at a court such as Pomona Courthouse South, may also set money bail.
A $1,000 bond costs $100, because the standard premium is 10% of bail, and in most cases the agency keeps that premium, including when prosecutors drop the charges. A written plan can spread the cost, and our bail bond cost guide covers the 8% rate some clients qualify for.
Not for the debt. The state Constitution bars jail for civil debt like an unpaid premium (article I, section 10). An agent may return the defendant to custody before a court date, but 10 CCR 2090 requires a premium refund, less limited costs only if the agent proves a much higher risk.
It depends on how long you can spare the cash. Under PC 1297, a defendant’s deposit can go to restitution, fines and costs, while the clerk returns a relative’s deposit in full after judgment, within 10 days after they claim it with the receipt. A bond costs a 10% premium.
