Stolen post distributed in popular place (7)
I believe the answer is:
hotspot
'popular place' is the definition.
(eg a tourist hot spot)
'stolen post distributed in' is the wordplay.
'stolen' becomes 'hot' (stolen goods are 'hot').
'distributed' indicates an anagram.
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'post' anagrammed gives 'tspo'.
'hot' enclosing 'tspo' is 'HOTSPOT'.
(Other definitions for hotspot that I've seen before include "Nightclub" , "busy area" .)
