Legal Question in Criminal Law in Illinois

class 2 felony 2 time offender for the same crime

My friends son has recently been charged with a class 2 felony for possession of a stolen vehicle. When he was 16 he was convicted of grand theft auto but tried as an adult. He received probation for that case. It was 8 yrs ago. This time he stole a semi-truck that was carrying copper. He was not caught with the trailer that had the copper in it, only the truck. He seems to think that he is able to get probation. I thought that once you got probation you didn't qualify for it again if you commit the same crime, especially with them being within 10 years of each other and felonies. He needs to get a good attorney. This happened in a small illinois cty but he will need a good attorney. Any advice on this situation??
