Radio for example one buys from thief (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

receiver

This clue is a double definition.

'radio for example' is the first definition.
(radio is a kind of receiver)

'one buys from thief' is the second definition.
(receiver of stolen goods)

(Other definitions for receiver that I've seen before include "One getting" , "Legally-appointed person to liquidate or preserve assets" , "Court-appointed manager; part of telephone" , "Beneficiary; fence" , "One talked into" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
