Steal from the station (4)
I believe the answer is:
nick
'steal' is the definition.
(nick can informally mean to steal)
I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for nick that I've seen before include "Cut slightly" , "cooler" , "Prison (sl.)" , "Old . . . . Is a name for the devil" , "Colloquially, a prison or police station" .)
