Who's got the hot chestnuts? (5,5)
I believe the answer is:
horse thief
'chestnuts?' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether this works.
'who's got the hot' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
an anagram of 'the' is 'eth' which is present in the answer.
'hot' could be 'h' (abbreviation eg on taps) and 'h' is located in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
