This expression does not indicate that Polly will contact the authorities. Polly is actually expressing that she will take steps to resolve this problem herself, without Bob's help.
This is a very literal interpretation of the idiom, which is not entirely accurate. Polly is not expressing that she herself will fix the computers, but rather that she will take responsibility for the problem, and solve it.
