Touring Thailand's capital, part of shoe pinched (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

stole

'pinched' is the definition.
(pinch can mean to steal)

'touring thailand's capital part of shoe' is the wordplay.
'touring' means one lot of letters goes inside another (touring can mean going round).
'capital' indicates taking the first letters.
'part of shoe' becomes 'sole'.
The initial letter of 'thailand' is 't'.
't' put within 'sole' is 'STOLE'.

(Other definitions for stole that I've seen before include "Pinched; wrap" , "Took - scarf" , "Item of clothing" , "Garment worn over the shoulders" , "Pinched; shawl" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
