looted

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

'stolen' is the definition.
(looting is a kind of stealing)

'a game little fellow' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'game' could be 'loo' (historical card game) and 'loo' is located in the answer.
'fellow' could be 'ted' (man's name) and 'ted' is present in the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'from' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
