HRS §651-17
How a bond can release attached property
A defendant can post a bond before judgment to get attached property back. The bond promises to pay the judgment. Once approved, the attachment is lifted and the property or its proceeds are returned. The bond becomes part of the court record.

The statute, as written — Discharge by bond of defendant
If the defendant, at any time before judgment, causes a bond to be executed to the plaintiff with sufficient sureties, to be approved by the officer having the attachment, or, after the return thereof, by the clerk, to the effect that the defendant will perform the judgment of the court, the attachment shall be discharged and restitution made of the property taken or the proceeds thereof. The execution of the bond shall be deemed an appearance of the defendant to the action. The bond shall be part of the record, and if judgment go against the defendant, the same shall be entered against the defendant and the sureties.
