'perhaps loafer' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.

'stole those bananas' is the wordplay.
'stole' becomes 'boa' (I've seen this before).
'bananas' indicates anagramming the letters (informal term for mad).
'those' is an anagram of 'tshoe'.
'boa'+'tshoe'='BOAT SHOE'
