Taken illegally (6)

I believe the answer is:

stolen

'taken illegally' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for stolen that I've seen before include "Hot item" , "Purloined in Solent" , "Purloined or embezzled" , "Nicked" , "Taken without right" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times, The Telegraph, The Star Tribune, the Sydney Morning Herald, the Newsday.com, the USA Today and The Sun.
