i forgot to lock this topic ...
i deleted all replies in this post. the last thing we need right now is a ton of rumors ...
yes, the initial bail was set to $1.5 mil., but you also need to know how the system works to understand what is happening.
the initial bail amount is completely up to whoever arrests brad.
there is a book value for his charges which is around $50k.
the final bail will be set by a judge at his arraignment (which is tomorrow) after the judge has examined all the evidence and it will more likely be in the book range.

ADDED:
from the SB Superior Court Web Site:
Charge: VC 10851(A), TAKE VEHICLE WITHOUT OWNER'S CONSENT/VEHICLE THEFT
Book Bail Value: $25k/$50k
Charge: PC 496(A), RECEIVE/ETC KNOWN STOLEN PROP (OVER $400)
Book Bail Value: $10k/$20k
i know this is short notice, but if anyone wants to be at brads arraignment tomorrow, here's the info:
"The arraignment time for Fri in Joshua Tree will be somewhere from 1:30-3:00pm.
The address is 6527 White Feather Road , Joshua Tree Ca. 92252."
there will be a small caravan going down from the bay area as well as a caravan from the LA area.

Hey everyone....
First of all:
Thanks for your relentless support to Brad. You have no idea how much this is appreciated!!!
Please understand that the admins are caught between a rock and a hard place here...
We understand that all of you are eager to help Brad out and want to stay informed
Andy is "closest to the fire" and he will keep us updated with news as much as he can
If you don't hear anything new, there just isn't any news to report.
As Andy also explained, there is still an ongoing investigation
And sad but true, it's not all just Brad's friends who hang out here... Big Brother is watching us
Anything said and done here can and WILL be used against Brad
So yes, for that reason, we will be monitoring what is going on and what is being posted here closely
We will keep these things on a very short leash. We will edit, or delete posts and threads that we think are inapropriate and we will not go into discussion about it...
There is absolutly no margin for errors!
We're only trying to do what's best for Brad right now
That is our only interest. It's not about us bashing you or putting you down. It is not about ego's
This is about helping Brad, and helping Brad only...
We understand (and appreciate) your enthusiasm to help out, and the creative ideas, but we ask you to please not start anything on your own. If you think you have any ideas on helping out, please go through the admins...
Right now, the only way to help and support Brad is through donating hard cash and/or by posting your support message in one of the dedicated threads.
I know we're asking a lot, but you'll just have to trust us on this one, blind...
We're just as eager for info and for this mess to end as you are
So, once agian, thanks for your patience, understanding and most of all, your support

Jeroen
