How did Torreto lose his cross from his neck in Fast Five?

I've recently been watching The Fast And The Furious movie series with my fiancee, that when I noticed a flaw or I may have missed something.

In the movie Fast Five - 2011, the scene where Dom first met Officer Neves and rescued her from the shooting saying: "They already know who you are". We can see the cross on his neck (Minute 33:09):

A minute later, after agent Hobbs passes by Neves, she sees the cross on the ground (Minute 34:43):

How did Torreto actually lose the cross? Was that a flaw from the director, or something that I've missed?

Best Answer

Basically...it just fell off (as strange as that may sound).

It's covered in the script

 Elena nods and he (Hobbs) moves off, continuing the hunt for Toretto.
 When he's gone she NOTICES something shining in the dirt. 
 Moving closer, we see it's LETTY's NECKLACE. 
 It must have fallen off Dom when he saved her life

We know that Dom didn't deliberately drop it since he's surprised to see Elena wearing the necklace later and he then proceeds to break into her home to get it back.

Essentially, it's a plot device to bring these two characters together.
