Larceny (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

theft

'larceny' is the definition.
(I know that larceny can be written as theft)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for theft that I've seen before include "Taking of another's property" , "Dishonest taking of others' property" , "Wrongly taking" , "Taking offence?" , "Dishonest appropriation" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian, The Independent, the King Feature Syndicate, The Telegraph, the Evening Standard, The Irish Times and the Sydney Morning Herald.
