"Crack a crib" nghĩa là đào ngạch vào ăn trộm, nạy cửa vào ăn trộm (ít dùng).

Ví dụ
Now, by the laws of our gang (băng đảng), we're bound to crack cribs in turn. That is to say, one of us cracks the crib while the other eleven stops outside and gives the office.

Well, let me tell you that no self-respecting (tự trọng) cracksman (kẻ bẻ khóa) would take a greenhorn (lính mới) like Oliver to crack a crib, not without knowing whether or not he could trust him.

Now, it was revealed to his intelligence (trí thông minh) that the professional thief (trộm chuyên nghiệp), who devoted all his days and such of his nights as were spared from depredation (hủy hoại) to wine and women, was more readily detected than the valetde-chambre (hầu phòng), who did but crack a crib or cry 'Stand and deliver!' on a proper occasion (dịp thích hợp).
