To break open, to pry open Explanation: Heavy goods vehicles can be surreptitiously entered either through the side walls or through the end doors... Flexible side walls (tilts or tarpaulins) may be cut, rigid side walls are broken open... the end doors are more frequently pried open through use of a lever, crowbar or other such material... (spoken like a true thief...) |

| Reference: ouverture par pesée Reference information: http://www.ouest-france.fr/apres-le-cambriolage-ne-dort-plus... Les cambrioleurs se servent souvent d'un pied-de-biche pour ouvrir fenêtres et portes. Ce que les enquêteurs appellent « l'ouverture par pesée ». | DR It's the legend for the photo. Looks just another way of saying "prize open" but with a crowbar |
