Bail bondsmen who write for Illinois residents ask for a lot more collateral, guarantors, etc., but it may take a defendant longer to find one who will bother.
That said, you can locate and cause the arrest of the skip on the basis if the bench warrant issued the moment he became an FTA. The bail bondsman can contact his local DA to arrange extradition and, depending on the state, the wheels may be greased by the fact that the issuance of bail is a legal contract which, under the Full Faith and Credit clause of the Constitution, must be recognized by Illinois. The bail bond contract should stipulate that the defendant shall upon demand leave the boundaries of the state of Illinois.
Even then, he must be taken to the state line by an Illinois-licensed PI under the supervision of the IL vcourt, which must supervise the entire "ballet." The skip is handed over to the bondsman or his agent just across the state line from IL. Phew!!
FReepmail me if you'd be interested in obtaining such knowledge through real-time, "live" instruction from an long-established school which, ironically, is headquartered in Illinois but rarely offers training seminars therein...
Been there. Done that. Got the T-Shirt.
But try it in Cook County (where about 80% of the absconders are) and you'll be told to drop your warrant at the Sheriffs Fugitive Division. You'll also be told that if you try to serve your own warrant you'll be arrested.

That works pretty well downstate but there just ain't much money in it very often.

We used to take 'em all the way home.
