Returning in flashy car, I propose unauthorised activity (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

piracy

'activity' is the definition.
(piracy is a kind of activity)

'returning in flashy car i propose unauthorised' is the wordplay.
'returning' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'in' indicates a hidden word.
'ycarip' is hidden within 'flashy car i propose unauthorised'.
'ycarip' in reverse letter order is 'PIRACY'.

(Other definitions for piracy that I've seen before include "Robbery on the high seas" , "Robbing of ships at sea" , "theft" , "Crime" , "Illegal copying" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
