Amazing but yard bird in Hawaii is very expensive, everything is outrageous in Hawaii except the Maui Wowie. What a disgrace, I don't shop at Safeway because they suque. Now I will avoid Safeway more than I already do.

Too bad they didn't sneak into the country, they'd be getting treated like royalty and no charges would have been filed. All they'd have to do is vote democrat and sign up for welfare and food stamps. <br />Somebody at Safeway needs to be fired, NOW.

Couple jailed and lose custody of daughter, 3, over stolen sandwiches

A three-year-old girl was taken from her parents and put in care after a couple were arrested for allegedly stealing two $5 sandwiches which they claim they innocently forgot to pay for.

Nicole Leszczynski, who is 30 weeks pregnant, and her husband Marcin ate the chicken sandwiches while shopping with their daughter at their local Safeway store in Honolulu, Hawaii.

'We walked a long way to the grocery store and I was feeling faint, dizzy, like I needed to eat something, so we decided to pick up some sandwiches and eat them while we were shopping,' Mrs Leszczynski told local station KHON.

The couple paid for $50 worth of groceries - failing to include the sandwiches they had eaten - and were stopped by security staff while leaving the store.

Despite telling the store manager they had made a simple mistake and offering to pay for the sandwiches, the police were called, who arrested the couple for fourth degree theft.

Their daughter Zophia was then taken into custody by Child Protection Services where she remained until the couple were released from Hawaii Police Department's main police station the next morning.

'This is unreal this could happen to a family like ours,' Mrs Leszczynski said.

Safeway is currently investigating the incident, but has admitted mistakes may have been made by staff at the Hawaii store.

'From our preliminary investigation, it appears we may not have handled this matter in the best possible way. We are taking this situation seriously, and giving it our full attention,' said a spokesperson.

Mr and Mrs Leszczynski are due in court in November to answer the shoplifting charge.
