    [2] While mere possession of stolen goods is not sufficient alone to sustain a conviction of burglary, it is a circumstance strongly indicating guilt, and only slight corroborative evidence is needed to sustain conviction. ( People v. Robinson (1960) 184 Cal.App.2d 69 [ 7 Cal.Rptr. 202] ; People v. Stokes (1960) 184 Cal.App.2d 780 [ 7 Cal.Rptr. 919].) [3] Where the goods possessed were but recently stolen the amount of corroborative evidence need be very slight.
