According to reports in China, Zhang told officers he had started by simply taking one or two items but soon became unable to control himself.
As his lust for used lingerie grew he took greater risks and created his "fishing rod" to help him swipe even more unmentionables.
Police said the man has been sent for psychiatric assessment and that a criminal investigation has been opened.
This is not the first case where a man has stolen women's underwear, earlier this year a 44-year-old man was arrested after he was accused of stealing and wearing hundreds of pairs of panties.
