Record-breaking Jeopardy! contestant Amy Schneider fell victim an armed robbery close to her Oakland home, which saw her phone, credit cards and ID stolen.
Schneider, 42, revealed she'd suffered upsetting crime on her Twitter account on Monday, shortly before she was seen on TV later on the same evening scoring her 24th straight victory on the iconic game show.
'Hi all! So, first off: I'm fine,' she tweeted earlier on Monday. 'But I got robbed yesterday, lost my ID, credit cards, and phone. I then couldn't really sleep last night, and have been dragging myself around all day trying to replace everything.'
Schneider is transgender, although there is not yet any suggestion that the robbery in crime-ridden Oakland was hate-related, and no arrests have been made. It is also unclear if she was targeted because of her fame and burgeoning bank balance.
In a second tweet, Schneider wrote that she doubted whether she'll 'start writing tonight's game thread', where she updates fans on what went on behind the scenes, because of the robbery.
'And if I keep winning, it may take a bit for me to get caught up,' she added. 'Thanks for your patience!'
Schneider was referring to her habit of sharing her highs and lows of each game via threads after games with her 52k followers.

Oakland Police shared a statement today that officers were investigating an armed robbery that took place on Lenox Avenue on Sunday shortly after 3.30p.m, close to Schneider's home. They didn't name Schneider as the victim, but both the San Francisco Chronicle and NBC

Drama queen
She should have hit them with her purse.
False flag? Fits the demographic.
That’s a dude.
Wow - that is one fugly...apartment building!
How smart can this person be - living in Oakland and being surprised by random crime?
She should have hit them with her purse.

He probably didn’t want to damage his balls.
Whether he is Trans or whatever, he needs to learn from this.
Yet another example of where one should not be blabbing on the internet about how much MONEY you have won and may be winning tonight. Fight the impluse to get more attention and be quieter about anything to do with MONEY.
Stash it, don’t flash it!
“Attention whores” for $1K, Alex.
Not “she” or “her”; it’s “he” and “him” The dude is still a biological male no matter what he wears, calls himself, or body part he cuts off. People need to stop accommodating these mentally ill people.
Almost any guy could look more lady like than the jeopardy queen.
Fortunately, there was no threat of “her” being raped.
The first thought I had when I was read this was.. I wonder if he made up the story to get sympathy and attention. These types love being victims.
Orange man bad.
“The highest earning woman on Jeopardy! lost her personal items including her ID, credit cards and phone and made the announcement on Monday”
And...
“Schneider is transgender...”
Another man breaking women’s records!
i am no tranny fan, males or females
but celebrating someone who isn’t a criminal themselves, being robbed is cesspool behavior
Lets Go Brandon to all of you cheering about someone being robbed
