Fate rich worry about - someone stealing their estate perhaps (3,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

car thief

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'someone stealing their estate perhaps' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'fate rich worry' is the wordplay.
'worry' indicates anagramming the letters.
'fate'+'rich'='faterich'
'faterich' with letters rearranged gives 'CAR THIEF'.

'about' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for car thief that I've seen is " Chief rat (anag) - appropriator of vehicles".)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
