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. However, she said the robbery would likely prevent her from finishing up a recap of Monday night's game when she earned her 24th victory and increased her earnings to $897,600, the fourth biggest amount in the show's regular-season's play.
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

A Juicy Smolliét hoax.
He came to mind, but Lithgow has the imposing size that makes it fairly obvious he’s male.
What was the race of the perps?
Funny, no mention of that in the entire article.

No such thing exists in reality; only in a reprobate mind and those that cheer on reprobate minds.
Alex, I’ll take, ‘who is the Amish urban crime leaders’ $100.
Too bad there isn't some sort of vast online database that one could search...

This is FR.
It’s guilty as hell even if it was a victim.
Doncha have to put it in the form of a question? :)
Fixed it!
Obviously brilliant.
Yet how can leftists like HIM not see that the same world view that boys can be girls also allows criminals to walk free on the street and harm them? Is it delusions? Brainwashing by propaganda?
Dude.
Imagine the surprise if there was an attempted rape.
“Aw hell nah”
Yeah, I'm sure that was the motive for robbery. In Oakland.
Yes it is, thanks for posting that, I needed the laugh.
“Go Away!”
“It’s too late, I’m here!!!”
Go ahead, hate me; but how do we know that the Jeopardy back room isn't "fixing" this trans triumph for propaganda bandwagon purposes? It wouldn't be the first time a game show "assisted" a long-running "winner."
LOLs!!!
Bingo.
Munchausen syndrome.
No hate here. Would not surprise me.
PLEASE, let it be a non White.
