Vancouver Island RCMP were called to investigate on Saturday after a man was found walking down a highway near Campbell River with no pants.
The man "was coherent but could not remember where his pants and shoes were," said RCMP Cpl. Brian Brown.
Officers then gave the man a ride home.
"A little bit later, police got a call from the wife who said a man had called the house, saying he had her husband's wallet and that they would have to pay to get it back," he said.
RCMP officers met with the would-be extortionist and recovered the wallet and money. No charges were laid, Brown said.
In an unrelated case two days earlier, RCMP were called to a Campbell River trailer home after a woman said someone broke in while she was sleeping.
The woman said the intruder used the bathroom, leaving it covered in fecal matter, and left a pair of pants behind in the living room.
The owner of the pants has not been found.
