Shawl nicked (5)
I believe the answer is:
stole
This clue is a double definition.
'shawl' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)
'nicked' is the second definition.
(nick can mean to steal)
(Other definitions for stole that I've seen before include "Nicked - wrap" , "Purloined; shawl" , "Lifted" , "Wrap, possibly with fur" , "Took unlawfully; shawl" .)
