nick

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

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

I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.

(Other definitions for nick that I've seen before include "Cut slightly" , "cooler" , "Prison (sl.)" , "Old . . . . Is a name for the devil" , "Colloquially, a prison or police station" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
