Crossword Genius

City gets looted, sadly (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

toledo

'city' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'looted sadly' is the wordplay.
'sadly' is an anagram indicator.
'looted' anagrammed gives 'TOLEDO'.

'gets' is the link.

(Other definitions for toledo that I've seen before include "Sword; city in Ohio" , "Spanish city known for swords" , "Spanish city known for swordmaking" , "Spanish city famed for swords" , "Looted the Spanish city badly" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
