Why Families Trust Us With Pomona Theft Bonds
A theft arrest can leave a family embarrassed and unsure what to do. Our business has 20+ years and 867+ clients behind it, so we skip the lecture and start with your options.
Every Cost Explained Before You Sign
You pay a 10% premium on the bail amount, and an agent works through that math on the first call. Our cost guide lists the same figures, with no hidden fees later.
One Premium for the Whole Case
Renewal premiums became illegal under Penal Code 1276.1 on January 1, 2022. A grand theft case that runs a year still costs one premium until the court exonerates the bond.
Low Down Payment for Qualifying Clients
Families who qualify cover a low down payment first, then settle the balance through installments. An 8% rate may apply for veterans, service members, union members or anyone with a private attorney.
We Handle the Paperwork and the Jail
Pomona Police run their own jail at 490 W. Mission Blvd. Our agent confirms the booking number and charge there and files the bond; in our experience, release follows within 2-6 hours.
Theft Charges We Post Bonds For
For warrantless arrests, most theft codes carry $0 bail under the county's release protocol. A relative on felony probation, parole or PRCS gets Magistrate Review, and a warrant carries judge-set bail.
Shoplifting
Penal Code 459.5 makes entering an open store to steal up to $950 a misdemeanor, unless a prior such as murder or a registrable sex crime applies. Its 2026 designation is Book and Release ($0) for eligible arrestees.
Petty Theft
Petty theft under Penal Code 488 and 490.2 means taking property valued at $950 or less, a misdemeanor since Proposition 47 unless the same rare priors apply. The schedule designates it Cite and Release, meaning a signed citation in place of booking.
Grand Theft
Grand theft under Penal Code 487 includes theft over $950, from a person, or of a car or firearm. The felony schedule lists most counts as Book and Release and theft from a person as Magistrate Review, while firearm theft carries $50,000.
Receiving Stolen Property
Buying or keeping property you know someone stole falls under Penal Code 496. At $950 or less it stays a misdemeanor unless a murder or registrable sex crime prior applies. Misdemeanor and felony counts sit at Cite and Release in the 2026 schedules.
Repeat Theft After Proposition 36
Penal Code 666.1 can make petty theft or shoplifting a felony after two or more convictions on its list, and 490.3 lets prosecutors combine thefts. A 666.1 arrest means Magistrate Review, which can end in release or a hold until arraignment.
Burglary
Burglary under Penal Code 459 means entering a building or locked car to steal or commit a felony. A lived-in home carries $50,000 bail when someone is present and Magistrate Review when no one is. Other burglary is Book and Release.

Three Simple Steps to a Bail Bond
1
Initial Payment
Phone (888) 998-9511 whenever the arrest happens. Once you know the bail amount, you review and sign the agreement, then make a low down payment toward the standard 10% premium.
2
Customized Payment Plan
We split the remaining premium into a written payment schedule built around your budget. A long case adds no second premium, since California outlawed renewal premiums in 2022 (Penal Code 1276.1).
3
Securing Release
A licensed agent files the bond with the jail or station holding your relative. That facility sets its own release pace, and we keep your family posted until your relative walks out.

Theft Bail Bond FAQ
Start with these questions if a relative faces a theft charge in Pomona. The answers rest on the California Penal Code and the county's 2026 bail schedules.
How much is a bond for shoplifting?
On a warrantless arrest, shoplifting of $950 or less under Penal Code 459.5 carries $0 bail as Book and Release, unless a disqualifying prior or felony probation, parole or PRCS status applies. If a judge sets money bail at arraignment, the schedule suggests $15,000, a $1,500 premium at 10%.
Do I still need a bail bond under LA County zero bail?
For most warrantless theft arrests, no. Petty theft, shoplifting, receiving stolen property and most grand theft counts carry $0 bail under the county's release protocol. A bond matters for dollar-figure charges such as firearm theft, for bail on a warrant, or when a judge sets money bail at arraignment.
How much is bail on a $1000 bond?
On $1,000 bail, the standard California premium is 10%, or $100, paid one time for the whole case. Veterans, union members and people with a hired defense lawyer can be eligible for 8%, or $80. For petty theft, a judge may use the schedule's $1,000 to $5,000 range.
What happens to bail money if the person is found guilty?
The agency keeps the premium after any verdict, apart from surrender refunds under 10 CCR 2090 and PC 1300(b). Under Penal Code 1297, a defendant's own deposit can go toward restitution, fines and costs first. If every court date is kept, a relative's deposit returns in full after judgment.
Where can I find bail bonds in Pomona, California?
