The 42-year-old engineering manager tweeted Monday that she was OK after her ID, credit cards and phone were stolen. When asked about Schneider’s tweet, Oakland police confirmed Wednesday that two individuals — one wielding a firearm — approached a victim Sunday around 3:30 p.m. in the 200 block of Lenox Avenue. They demanded the victim’s property before running off with the victim’s personal belongings.

The Oakland Police Department, which is investigating the incident, would not identify the victim but said no arrests have been made and encouraged anyone with knowledge of the theft to contact its robbery investigation team at [phone].

“Hi all!” Schneider tweeted Monday. “So, first off: I’m fine. But I got robbed yesterday ... I then couldn’t really sleep last night, and have been dragging myself around all day trying to replace everything.”

The game show issued a statement saying, “We were deeply saddened to hear about this incident, and we reached out to Amy privately to offer our help in any capacity.”

Good Luck Amy. I hope they find your attackers.

3. Why ?

Street crime is far too common in the United States.
Her robbery got in the news because of who she is.

Doubt the robbers even new who she was other than a target.

5. It's Oakland

Brazen daylight crime is kind of an entire thing there.
