Pinched a shawl (5)
I believe the answer is:
stole
I believe this is a double definition.
'pinched' is the first definition.
(pinch can mean to steal)
'a shawl' is the second definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
(Other definitions for stole that I've seen before include "Took - scarf" , "Nicked - wrap" , "ripped off" , "Item of clothing" , "Made off with clerical vestment?" .)
