The incident of Rob Schneider robbed took place in the Los Angeles neighborhood of Encino, according to TMZ. Fortunately, the 51-year-old actor and his wife weren't home at the time of the robbery and nobody was hurt. Schneider's rep confirmed to Gossip Cop that he was at the "Just For Laughs" comedy festival in Montreal and his wife was out for dinner when the robbery occurred.

The incident of Rob Schneider robbed involved his wife's diamond engagement ring, a Cartier watch as well as the extremely rare 1951 Willie Mays baseball card. The $175,000 rookie card was the most expensive of all items stolen. Two other Willie Mays cards reportedly stolen as well - one from 1953 and one from 1971.

The rookie card was in fact so rare and in mint condition, that the thieves will be having a difficult time selling it without tracing back to Schneider, according to The Inquisitr. Schneider, an avid baseball card collector, is fond of collecting the likes of cards from the 1950s and 1960s.

Fortunately, despite Rob Schneider robber, the "Hot Chick" star has kept hidden separately his collection of Mays cards and a larger baseball card collection. The thieves weren't able to locate the collection.

In a later report, TMZ added that the incident of Rob Scheider robbed happened as the robbers "broke in through a sliding glass door in the rear of the home, using some kind of blunt object to break the glass," as told by law enforcement officials.

Schneider became famous for his films, the most famous one being "Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigalo." However, the actor really first rose to fame following a role on Saturday Night Live in the '90s, where he also met Adam Sandler. He has been in the late night show for four years before he went on to star in different films with main roles, as well as cameos in Adams' films.

Some of the films of Sandler's where he has appeared include "Big Daddy," "Eight Crazy Nights," "Little Nicky," "Mr Deeds," The Lonest Yard," and the "50 First Dates."

This year, Rob Schneider has been working on five films, some of which include "The Ridiculous 6" and "Norm Of The North," reported The Daily Mail.

So far, Rob has yet to comment on the robbery. He has also not mentioned the incident on social media.
