Steal broken orb (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rob

'steal' is the definition.
(I know that rob is a more specific form of steal)

'broken orb' is the wordplay.
'broken' indicates an anagram.
'orb' is an anagram of 'ROB'.

(Other definitions for rob that I've seen before include "Steal or purloin" , "Hold up" , "Nick" , "Take without consent from the owner" , "Take something without the owner's consent" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
