I believe the answer is:

'crime of stealing' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for theft that I've seen before include "Pilferage" , "Crime of stealing" , "Act of larceny" , "Wrongly taking" , "Taking offence?" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday and The Times.
