Perhaps because your friend who has prior convictions? Perhaps the bond is set at the standard level. Perhaps there are some issues about flight, etc. "Fitting the description on a picture" isn't enough - he must have been identified in some way - a witness, prints, hocking the stolen goods, confessing to others, etc.
