Pilfered, thieved (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

stole

This clue is a double definition.

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

'thieved' is the second definition.
('steal' can be a synonym of 'thieve')

(Other definitions for stole that I've seen before include "Made off with clerical vestment?" , "Pinched; shawl" , "Took - scarf" , "cover" , "Misappropriated" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
