Portuguese term or phrase: uso de chave falso
"Furto Qualificado: Subtração para si ou para outrem de alheia móvel, mediante: abuso de confiança; fraude; escalada; destreza; uso de chave falsa; concurso de duas ou mais pessoas; destruição ou rompimento de obstáculo à subtração da coisa."

I'm unclear on a few terms listed ("abuso.... coisa") in the above text, especially with CONCURSO ("Contest" doesn't sound right) and CHAVE FALSO (came across http://pt.bab.la/dicionario/portugues-ingles/chave-falsa, but unsure if "mock key" correct). Here goes my try on the second part:

"breach of trust; fraud; escalation; cunning; use of mock key; contest of two or more persons; demolishing or tearing down an obstacle to take things.

Que opinam?

breaking and entering


Explanation:
Translating the concept here, not the literal term.

http://jus.com.br/artigos/18532/anotacoes-sobre-o-crime-de-f...

ssim, "qualifica-se também o delito de furto quando o agente se utiliza de instrumento falso, com ou sem a forma de chave para fazer funcionar o mecanismo de uma fechadura ou dispositivo análogo, possibilitando ou facilitando a execução do furto" [02]. Em outras palavras, ante a particularidade do uso de uma chave falsa, seja qual for sua forma, o delito de furto é qualificado, diante do modus operandi utilizado que facilitou a prática do crime.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burglary
Burglary (also called breaking and entering[1] and sometimes housebreaking)[2] is a crime, the essence of which is illegal entry into a building for the purposes of committing an offence.
