'sound reasonable?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'model last seen pocketing a thousand' is the wordplay.
'model' becomes 't' (Ford Model T car).
'last seen' becomes 'l' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'pocketing' indicates putting letters inside.
'thousand' becomes 'k' ('K' can be a synonym of 'thousand').
't'+'l'='tl'
'tl' placed around 'a' is 'tal'.
'tal'+'k'='TALK'

(Other definitions for talk that I've seen before include "Gas" , "Idle gossip" , "Conversation" , "Discourse" , "Speak frankly (about the Christmas dinner?)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
