Taking newspaper (5)

I believe the answer is:

theft

I believe this is a double definition.

'taking' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'newspaper' is the second definition.
(The FT - Financial Times)

(Other definitions for theft that I've seen before include "Dishonest taking of others' property" , "Job" , "Taking offence?" , "Burglary" , "Unlawful taking" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
