Fur, new, getting nicked (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

stolen

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

'fur new' is the wordplay.
'fur' becomes 'stole' (I've seen this in another clue).
'new' becomes 'n' (common abbreviation eg NT for New Testament).
'stole'+'n'='STOLEN'

'getting' is the link.

(Other definitions for stolen that I've seen before include "Robbed" , "Pinched" , "Snatched" , "Illegally taken" , "Purloined in Solent" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
