Toledo unfortunately got sacked (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

looted

'sacked' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'toledo unfortunately' is the wordplay.
'unfortunately' indicates an anagram (a bad or unfortunate spelling).
'toledo' is an anagram of 'LOOTED'.

'got' is the link.

(Other definitions for looted that I've seen before include "having taken part in a robbery" , "Ransacked, plundered" , "Plundered and robbed" , "Plundered, pillaged" , "stole stuff" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
