Meet boring thief moving temporarily (3,3,4,5)

I believe the answer is:

for the time being

'temporarily' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'meet boring thief moving' is the wordplay.
'moving' indicates anagramming the letters (letters are moved around).
'meet'+'boring'+'thief'='meetboringthief'
'meetboringthief' is an anagram of 'FOR THE TIME BEING'.

(Another definition for for the time being that I've seen is " at the moment".)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
