Petty offenses usually carry low bail, while grand theft and burglary, especially residential burglary, are set significantly higher.

The $950 line and how theft bail scales
In California the value taken is the dividing line. Under Proposition 47, most theft of $950 or less is petty theft, typically a misdemeanor with low bail, while anything above $950 can be charged as grand theft under PC 487 with higher bail. Burglary under PC 459, especially residential burglary, is treated more seriously still, and organized or repeat retail-theft allegations can stack counts quickly. Confirming whether the case is charged as petty theft, grand theft or burglary is the single biggest factor in what the bond will cost, so that is where we start.
We handle theft & shoplifting bail at all seven county detention facilities and the city jails, 24/7, with honest pricing explained before you commit, payment plans built around your budget, frequent no-collateral approvals, and complete confidentiality. Call and we will quote the exact premium on the spot.
