Take stock of others? (6)
I believe the answer is:
rustle
'take stock' is the definition.
(rustle can mean to steal cattle or stock)
I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for rustle that I've seen before include "Steal 2" , "Low sound of rubbing" , "Steal cattle in the old West" , "The sound of leaves in the wind" , "Make sound as of paper crumpling - or steal cattle" .)
