In "To Kill a Mockingbird", what happened to Jem's pants and why?

Jem loses his pants as he is fleeing from the scene of the Radley House late at night with Scout and Dill. He leaves the pants, which got snagged on the bottom of the property fence, only to find them neatly folded and left for him on the fencepost the next day.


The children had gone to the house out of morbid curiosity, trying to sneak a peek at Boo Radley, or further investigate the enigma of the Radleys themselves. When they are heard, Nathan Radley fires a shot in the air over the kids, suspecting that they are prowlers.
