Steals lots (4)
I believe the answer is:
bags
This might be a double definition.
'steals' is the first definition.
(bagging is a kind of stealing)
'lots' is the second definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being plural nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for bags that I've seen before include "trousers for a > good deal" , "Takes unilaterally" , "Flexible container" , "Containers for carrying, informally plenty" , "Flexible containers, of paper say" .)
