I didn't do nothin'

I've always had an interest in the whole Bail Bonds industry. I think it was piqued by the Robert Forster character in Jackie Brown, and reading Harry Bosch novels.

Seems to be a black art much in the same vein as used car valuing and selling. The headache factor must be massive, dealing with all sorts, being constantly lied to, and then as a last resort having to deal with people like "DOG- the bounty hunter" when yet another client skips out.

Personally I'd go for more of a Boba Fett style offsider. You know he'll get the job done, and that carbonite freezing can create quite a conversation starter when displayed in the lounge.

When we were in the US and Los Angeles especially, ads were everywhere. I love the fact that in an industry where the product is basically the same, novelty and gimmickry is the order of the day to get noticed.

The "Wheeler Bond Co" is awesome, with possibly the best use of the Jesus fish ever. I know when I'm looking to get bailed on a drug fuelled/multiple partners/porn/blasphemy related charge I'll need the understanding that a christian owned bond company brings.




The photos are from all over, and as they are ads i don't imagine crediting is needed.
