Zero. You will likely get jail time if you are convicted of a burglary while on probation for receiving stolen property. In fact you will likely remain in jail on a probation detainer until the new charge is resolved with a trial or plea. Even if you are found not guilty of the new charge you will likely stay in jail until the trial.

The question you should ask your lawyer is how can you avoid ending up in state prison for the probation violation and the new charge.
