Criminal stealing the family jewels? (8)
I believe the answer is:
genitals
'the family jewels?' is the definition.
(family jewels is a kind of genitals)
'criminal stealing' is the wordplay.
'criminal' indicates an anagram.
'stealing' is an anagram of 'GENITALS'.
I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
