Person with an irrational urge to take things (12)

I believe the answer is:

kleptomaniac

(Other definitions for kleptomaniac that I've seen before include "Motiveless thief" , "A man to pickle (anag) - one with an urge to steal" , "Obsessive thief" , "Compulsive thief" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
