You could be prosecuted as an accessory to the theft, but only if you actively help to conceal it. Simply doing nothing, including not informing on your boyfriend, would not make you an accessory. Making false statements about it to the authorities, for example, giving him a phony alibi, would probably be enough. In any case, it's never a good idea to talk to the police about something like this without a lawyer. You might get yourself jammed up.
