Snack for stolen pet (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hotdog

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

'stolen pet' is the wordplay.
'stolen' becomes 'hot' (stolen goods are 'hot').
'pet' becomes 'dog'.
'hot'+'dog'='HOTDOG'

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for hotdog that I've seen before include "Food served at arena" , "snack" , "junk food" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
