Rob and possibly hit a girl (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

thieve

'rob' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'possibly hit a girl' is the wordplay.
'possibly' indicates an anagram.
'a girl' becomes 'eve' ().
'hit' with letters rearranged gives 'thi'.
'thi'+'eve'='THIEVE'

'and' is the link.

(Other definitions for thieve that I've seen before include "Misappropriate" , "appropriate" , "Pinch" , "Steal things" , "Rob" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
