A Daytona Beach, Florida, robbery target had her escape fall in her lap – literally – when a clumsy robber dropped his gun in her lap. Carol Costello, 69, was leaving a Walmart store when a car blocked her way and a passenger with a gun jumped onto the hood of her car. The robber smashed a large hole in the windshield of Costello’s car with the gun, which fell from his hand and landed in Costello’s lap. She pointed it at the assailant, who ran back to his car. As the robbers’ car drove away, Costello was able to write down its license plate number. The would-be robber also dropped his cell phone, which included photos that allowed Costello to identify him to police.
