They do resemble the gloves that were seen in the video of the man who actually walked up the porch and started trying to block the nest camera and then took off the nest camera. So that could be a big find. The question is, are they common gloves? And the answer is yes, they are. And if you look around here, the desert, lots of cactus, lots of landscaping, there's a possibility that these gloves could not be associated with this case altogether.
