Bail Bond News in Orange County

His businesses have survived a hurri­cane. They survived a fire.

Where many people would see these disasters as a sign to get out of the business world, Robert Miller saw opportunity to make things even better. Miller, who owns Orange County Bail Bonds (1043 Civic Center Drive West Santa Ana, Ca 92703) is a Southern California native. But he went on a multi-city whirlwind tour of entrepreneurial nightmares,none of his own making,and lived to tell about them..“I sold my interest in a nightclub in Long Island, N.Y. at the end of 1995,” Miller begins the story. “I went to St. Thomas with a little bit of money in my pocket. There were payments that were going to be coming in for the next several years from my former partner.” Then the first problem. “Three months later, the checks stopped coming from him,” Miller says. “He had lost the whole business. So I went to work in the restaurant business again, and then ended up buying a Jeep dealership there.”That business was a success until 1989, when Hurricane Hugo wiped out much of the island. “The biggest part of my business was Jeep rentals,” Miller says. “Tourism stopped for over a year. Actually, FEMA kept me alive for about six months because they rented every one of my Jeeps for those in the crisis and for the FEMA disaster people who were down there.”Miller finally closed the business a short time later, but found opportunity in another company wiped out by the hurricane. The owner of Mountain Top, a tourist destination frequented by cruise ship travelers seeking souvenirs or a “World Famous Banana Daiquiri”, wanted to shut down and not rebuild. Miller struck a deal with the owner to become a partner, rebuilt Mountain Top, and restored it to the promi­nent tourist hot spot it had been since the 1950’s.  While on the island, Miller married and had a son. Seeking better educational opportunities for his family than St. Thomas could provide, Miller moved back to California. He opened Orange County Bail Bonds in 1996, in a building also housing a number of attorney’s offices. He eventually bought the building in 2001. In November, 2006, the second floor of his building was completely destroyed by fire, and arson was suspected. “The first person they look at when it’s arson is the owner of the building, of course,” says Miller. “All they had to do was take one look at my insurance coverage and they stopped looking at me. I had the worst insurance policy. I didn’t realize how bad it was. It was one of the worst business moves I had ever made.” It took nearly two years to rebuild, with Miller operating Orange County Bail Bonds from a parking lot trailer. The business, however, didn’t suf­fer, and the building is better than ever. “It is basically the same-sized building we had before, right down to the square inch, but it’s all retro-fitted and meets new earthquake standards,” Miller says. “It was built in a green design, so you’ve got the florescent lights and special insulation. My power bills are dramatically lower than the old building; the old building had no insulation at all. So we got a better building.”And, hopefully, no more disasters.

ORANGE COUNTY BAIL BONDS GETS RECOGNIZED BY THE ORANGE COUNTY WEEKLY!

Bob and Anne Miller of Orange County Bail Bonds recently had the opportunity to visit China. When asked what their favorite part of the trip was they both responded with their experience at a small police station outside of .

Bob Miller says: “We introduced ourselves to Captain Lu Cho, he was very friendly, and graciously; he gave us a tour of his jail. I asked Captain Lu if he’d let me post a bail bond, he looked at me like I was crazy; when I explained to him what bail is and that it’s an 8th Amendment right allowed to all Americans in the Bill of Rights; he said “There’s no bail bond in China. If I arrest you here, you stay here until I say you can go!” He thought the idea of bail was not good, “all people in jail are guilty, why would we let them go” I tried to explain the concept of innocent until proven guilty, but, he didn’t get it.”

Anne Miller tells us that “The jail was very small and stark, but, very clean. Captain Lu said it was a slow day; two inmates were crowded in a space that the jailer said would hold 10 men. They get rice, some vegetables and water twice a day and occasionally some meat (he could not tell us what kind of meat).”

Bob and Anne tell us that they were very impressed with the Olympic Village. It was still under construction while they were in Beijing and they were told that the construction went on night and day, around the clock with over 500,000 workers involved in the different aspects of construction.  “When we drove by, as far as the eye could see, we could see a line of loaded cement trucks come in from one direction and leave, empty, from the other.”

 

The mottos of the Beijing Olympics are “Green Olympics,” “High-tech Olympics” and “People’s Olympics,” great attention has been paid to widely applying energy, water, soil and material-saving technologies and the provision of high-standard accessible facilities.

The Chinese government is spending a fortune to make these Olympics memorable. According to the Olympic website the budget for the venues, alone, will be 13 billion Yuan (about 2 billion dollars), including the funds for the National Stadium, nicknamed the “Bird’s Nest,” which will stay under 3.5 billion Yuan (about 486 million US dollars). Of the total budget, 50 percent came from financing from the central and Beijing municipal governments, with the rest from social funds and donations.

Even though they didn’t get to post a bail bond at the Beijing jail, Bob and Anne still had a spectacular time enjoying the sights of China>
