Holiday location mounted across uniform pocket (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

trouser

'pocket' is the definition.
(both can mean to steal or take)

'holiday location mounted across uniform' is the wordplay.
'holiday location' becomes 'resort' (I've seen this before).
'mounted' is a reversal indicator (in a down clue, letters mounted up).
'across' is an insertion indicator.
'uniform' becomes 'U' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.).
'resort' backwards is 'troser'.
'troser' enclosing 'u' is 'TROUSER'.

(Other definitions for trouser that I've seen before include "Appropriate" , "Pocket (slang)" , "Pocket (something)" , "Our rest (anag)" , "For oneself" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
