You witness your favorite background pony committing a crime. Do you turn her in?

I think I'd take an entirely different approach. I'd tell Lyra the truth-that she has a problem, and that's she's only going to dig a deeper hole for herself and feel more and more guilty about things until she admits her wrongdoings. I'd still stand by her every step of the way- everypony makes mistakes, and even if the charges ended in jail time, I'd still go visit her if she'd let me. I'd hate to take a chance at ruining our friendship, but Lyra's long term wellbeing would be more important to me than maintaining good graces.

This, exactly this.

I wouldn't report her. I'd tell her she's on a slippery slope that can't end well, and that she should return the bits and artifacts. I wouldn't trust anyone to administer balanced judgement or punishment so I wouldn't open a door to the even greater crime of injustice. I'd try to help her reform, privately and without outside interference. And for all my efforts I would accept a small fee...those bits and artifacts oughta cover it.

Bon Bon and I would go on an epic crime spree the likes of which Equestria has never seen together!

[Snow Frostflame 3,568]

Yep, as I've even said to my friends in person if they commit a crime I wouldn't hesitate to turn them in. I especially hate thieves and would probably be offended if they tried to bribe me with stolen goods. Though depending on how they act I would be willing to reason with them. Hand me everything so I could return them, and stay away from thieving, or be turned in by my hands. Though if I catch them stealing again, I would personally drag their ass to jail myself.

Like Fluttershy ?

No, she can´t commit crimes, so it´s impossible to answer

Except she's not a background pony.

[Sparklefan1234 171,761]

Yes!

I *knew* Minuette's innocent giggle was an act all along.  

[Foxy Socks 2,599]

Of course I do, even though I doubt they would do it. I'd rather have one pony not like me than everypony, even if they may be my favorite. Besides, I have many favorite ponies. 

[kaiser5578 340]

Lyra wouldn't need to pay me off, that's what friends are for.

[The Kaeya Simp 13,989]

No, I'd say to Derpy to go fly as fast as possible and I'll take the blame

[FizzyGreen 909]

Depends on how horrible the crime is and how much "not-okay" it is.

[GiFTGewEhrSCHutzen-4 8,828]

Don't give a poo if I become a snitch. Turn her in for the crimes she did may it be Derpy, Vinyl, Octavia, Lyra, Bon Bon, or whichever famous BG pony that may be. As long as I get rewarded.

Take the bribe no questions asked.

[EpicEnergy 23,221]

I would turn them in, you can't just commit a crime and expect me not to turn you in.

[Splashee 28,566]

Twilight stole a pearl (does that count?), and I will turn her in!

i will cover it.
then i will train to be a guard.
develop myself on the position to receive promotions and attain higher levels.
I WILL BECOME THE EMBODIMENT OF LAW MYSELF
I WILL THEN REVEAL THE PONY'S CRIME, AND THEN I WILL ARREST THE PONY MYSELF.
and then, with a wip, having knotted and locked the pony on the town square. i will determine how many the pony deserves for the crime.
BECAUSE THERE IS NO ONE BESIDES ME THAT SHOULD PUNISH THE PONY FOR THE MISBEHAVIOR

I will just cover for rainbow dash  scootaloo Twilight sparkle or even King sombra for their crime.

[Reality Check 632]

I'd probably confront Spike about it, though he did commit a few 'crimes' before, so I'd might act a bit harshly (depending on the crime that is)

I might lock her up myself!...in my room

[Monsoon 1,662]

I would take them down(non lethally) I rarely make exceptions a crime is a crime.
