As you'd expect. They covered his bail, and it's payable if he flees, which he did.

I can't see how they could have an expectation of anything different.

Shame they did not spot the chap was a cad before they risked their money.

You're assuming they are unhappy with the situation

...you'd assume so, otherwise they wouldn't have applied to the court to try and get their money back.

Answer this: Why would they apply to get their money back, knowing full well that they wouldn't? What would be a reasonable explanation for this action?
