Stolen property is remarkably attractive (3,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hot stuff

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

'remarkably attractive' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'stolen property' is the wordplay.
'stolen' becomes 'hot' (stolen goods are 'hot').
'property' becomes 'stuff' (stuff is a kind of property).
'hot'+'stuff'='HOT STUFF'

'is' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for hot stuff that I've seen before include "Very expert or attractive person" , "chilli powder?" , "blue movie" , "X-rated, apparently" , "Recently stolen items" .)
