Steal cold cut of meat (4)
I believe the answer is:
crib
'steal' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'cold cut of meat' is the wordplay.
'cold' becomes 'C' (eg on taps).
'cut of meat' becomes 'rib' (rib is a kind of cut of meat).
'c'+'rib'='CRIB'
(Other definitions for crib that I've seen before include "Cheat by copying - card game" , "Cot; translation cheat" , "cheat in school" , "Manger; cheat by copying" , "Translation cheat; fodder rack" .)
