Without evidence nobody can be convicted. Therein lies your problem, there must be some kind of evidence. It can be circumstantial, for example, you were seen near the house when a break-in occurred. It could be the person told a friend he burgled the place. It could be hidden video. Or a thousand other types of evidence. An attorney can discuss with you what is evidence under the circumstances and since burglary of a dwelling scores out prison time, I wouldn't hesitate.
