Call it in and choose better friends next time.

Unless of course...that you've been present during his little escapades?

You have no obligation to report it, and your failure to report it is not a criminal offense on your part... unless you were present as mentioned above.

Let your conscience guide you.

The key factor here (brought up by others) is were you present during any of these thefts? If so yes you can be charged. If not then no. The decision to notify law enforcement is yours and yours alone. who will benefit if you do or do not? its your call. One thing is certain you need to distance yourself from this person.
