Where stealing goods brings higher levels? (4-7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

shop-lifting

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

'goods brings higher levels?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'where stealing' is the wordplay.
'where' becomes 'shop' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'stealing' becomes 'lifting' (lifting is a kind of stealing).
'shop'+'lifting'='SHOP-LIFTING'

Can you help me to learn more?
