Thief pilfers hot new fashion (10)
I promised fun and games, so you’re getting fun and games.
Every day (well, some days) I’m going to pick a clue from my morning crossword and give a prize (a congratulatory note in the comments) to the first person to solve it. Some will be clues I’ve cracked and others will be clues I’m stuck on. I’ll try to pick clues I think are exceptionally clever and clues that make for an interesting blog post title.
Today’s clue I have not yet solved, but I do know the answer is 10 letters and the first letter is s.
You’ll need to read up on cryptic crosswords to play along.

Hi Robert-The answer is
SHOPLIFTER
It is an anagram of “pilfers hot”
For the newcomers, we know it is an anagram because the clue is saying that something meaning “Thief” also means “pilfers hot” in a “new fashion”.
congrats John, you got it.
