Hi,

This word means stealing or robbing and it has five letters. The last letter seems to be the letter 'R' and the third letter seems to be the letter "I". Between the two, the part I am quite sure is the last letter of "R" and I am not quite sure about the letter "I". What is this word to you?

I ckecked Roget's and Roget's II and couldn't find anything.  Perhaps your crossword puzzle dictionary will help you out.

My first thought is THEFT, but that doesn't seem to work.
