if she's a close friend, just pretend like she didn't do it. It is a crime. If it happens again reevaluate your friendship and loose the criminal.

Your exact answer will depend on where you live, so this answer is provided for purely informational purposes. This answer is based on common legal principles in the United States.
In general a witness does not have a duty to report a crime.
With that said, even though you are not obligated to report the crime, lying to investigators could be a crime, taking posession of the stolen property could be a crime. Furthermore, if you are called as a witness to court, lying would be a crime, and failing to testify could be punishable by contempt.
My advice: Find better friends who don't put you into these situations.

technically that is a crime..... but, i would not report it. i however would stay away from your "friend".... she can lead you in a heap of trouble. your grammar is a lot better than a lot of those who have spoken English their whole lives.

yagamichi san. ohio gozaimasu. it is a crime if you don"t report because you become an accessory to the crime and it is your duty to inform the police.
