Pink organ pinching (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

theft

This could be a double definition.

'pink organ' is the first definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how one could define the other.

'pinching' is the second definition.

(Other definitions for theft that I've seen before include "heavy crime" , "Job" , "Unlawful taking" , "Crime of stealing" , "Misappropriation" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
