Cunning having stolen goods, not going straight (6)
I believe the answer is:
wiggly
'not going straight' is the definition.
The definition suggests an adjective which matches the answer.
'cunning having stolen goods' is the wordplay.
'cunning' becomes 'wily' (synonyms).
'having stolen' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'goods' becomes 'gg' (g is abbreviation for good - twice).
'wily' going around 'gg' is 'WIGGLY'.
