Lifting hedger (anag) (5-8)

I believe the answer is:

light-fingered

(Other definitions for light-fingered that I've seen before include "Adept at thieving" , "Like a pickpocket" , "Inclined to steal" , "Having a propensity for stealing" , "Likely to steal" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
