This clue could be a double definition.

'lift device' is the first definition.
'loot' can be an answer for 'lift' (thesaurus). I am unsure of the 'device' bit.

'steal' is the second definition.

'or' is the link.

(Other definitions for loot that I've seen before include "Booty, spoils" , "Haul" , "Plunder and ransack" , "Burglar's takings - pillage" , "Stolen goods" .)
