Crossword Genius

Privates stealing bananas (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

genitals

'privates' is the definition.
('genitals' can be a synonym of 'privates')

'stealing bananas' is the wordplay.
'bananas' indicates anagramming the letters (informal term for mad).
'stealing' anagrammed gives 'GENITALS'.

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
