A man in Lishui, Zhejiang province, went on a spree of breaking into homes of women to satisfy his sick hobby of seeing them in panic and embarrassment.

Ma, a young laid-off worker, repeatedly broke into an apartment rented by several young women, taking minor possessions each time until he was traced by one of the tenants early this month.

He later confessed to police that he only wanted to see the young women in a panic.

After losing his job, Ma felt upset and tired but was uplifted to see three beautiful women move into a nearby apartment.

He sang love songs near their window, but none of them noticed him.

This prompted him to break in and really get their attention, he told police.
