An individual -- almostindividual—almost always a pervert of some kind -- whokind—who steals and collects women's (or girls') underwear, usually worn/used. Almost always presented as a reprehensible individual and usually an enemy of the hero, and just as frequently played for laughs. They can be divided into the [[Stalker with a Crush]] who steals a specific person's underwear as part of a general stalking campaign, and the indiscriminate, compulsive underwear thief who usually doesn't engage in more serious sexual offenses and is more likely to be treated as a comic figure.

** Jack Rakan deserves special mention. In one manga chapter, he ends up having to fight two girls. He [[Flash Step|Flash Steps]]s behind them, flips up their skirts, and ''steals the panties off one of them before they knew what happened''<ref>and the only reason that he didn't steal the panties off both of them is because one was [[Going Commando]] to begin with.</ref> Said panties end up ''being a crucial element in [[The Nose Knows|locating]] and [[Defeat by Modesty|defeating]] them''. Then he does it again later...[http://www.mangafox.com/manga/mahou_sensei_negima/v29/c259/5.html to ALL of Fate's minions simultaneously], [[Defeat by Modesty|then flips up thir skirts repeteadly until they concede defeat]] ([[Wouldn't Hit a Girl|so he won't have to fight them.]]

** Chamo's reputation as a [[Panty Thief]] was subverted in ''[[Negima Neo]]'': One chapter involves Negi chasing a small [[Panty Thief]] throughout Mahora academy, and many a reader expected it to be Chamo. {{spoiler|It was a cat.}}

* In ''[[Macross Frontier]]'', the one time [[The Ojou|Sheryl]] attends school with Ranka and Alto is memorable not just for her own interstellar celebrity, but because of her [[Foe-Tossing Charge|unstoppable]] [[Beware the Nice Ones|rampage]] through the campus while ''going commando'' in a skirt. The culprit? A tiny, green, and adorable [[Ridiculously Cute Critter]] ({{spoiler|a Vajra in larval form}}) that crawled into her laundry basket while she was showering, then started hopping about the campus with no regard for the pair of panties that had wrapped around it. The [[Idol Singer]] was lucky no paparazzi were nearby to capture the moment... Also of note is that the little guy is then pursued by -- withby—with three exceptions -- ''the entire male population of the school'', whose motivation appears to be acquiring said panties as a trophy rather than giving them back.

* One ''[[You're Under Arrest]]'' story concerns a highly sophisticated [[Panty Thief]] -- whoThief—who strangely enough is a parody of Billy The Kid from ''[[The Silence of the Lambs]]'': he is sewing a blanket out of the pants he steals, "and then it will be like I am sleeping with all the girls at once!"

* ''[[The Bill]]''. When [[Cowboy Cop|Inspector Burnside]] is picked to play the suspect during a course in police interrogation, he boasts proudly about how a criminal once told him he'd make an excellent [[Armed Blag|Armed Blagger]]ger. Cue his [[Oh Crap]] expression when Burnside reads his lines. We then see Burnside confessing to stealing underwear off a laundry line, though he turns it into a joke at the end.

* In ''[[Bully (video game)|Bully]]'', our [[Anti-Hero|hero]], Jimmy, does this for gym coach Mr. Burton. Slightly [[Squick|squickysquick]]y, but overall, funny.

* Blair from ''[[Eerie Cuties]]'' is a "female" doll possessed by definitely male -- andmale—and very perverted -- spiritperverted—spirit. He does [http://www.eeriecuties.com/d/20091012.html this] whenever [http://www.eeriecuties.com/d/20110629.html possible], though usually this doesn't end well for him.
