Woman Types with Toes Seeking Rescue

Toes aren't usually the best digits for typing, but that's all one Atlanta woman had Monday night to send off messages.

Amy Windom was left unable to move her hands after a robber broke into her home, stole her valuables, then tied her to her bed.

But she wasn't completely out of luck. The thief left her company-owned laptop because Windom told him it could be traced.

Still, with her hands tied, Windom couldn't type -- or could she?

The laptop was just in reach of her feet. Undaunted, Windom began typing to her boyfriend, who called the police.

Click on the video below to see how she did it!

The crook is still on the run.
