Doesn't much matter what sign you put on it.
Doesn’t work all the time. I asked my wife to stand real quiet about 3’ from the street. No takers.

The chair was behind caution tape, under a tree, behind a heavy planter and behind a landscape retaining wall.
I've been here over ten years and never had anything like this happen.
That's theft - whatever you want to call it go right ahead.

Picture Answers a lot of questions and would have avoided all the speculation………..if included in OP.

Likely, that would not happen in the US - either past or present.
........In 1992 when I was in California, I would marvel at the way abandoned automobiles left on a street or highway would gradually turn into automobile skeletons. As I would drive by for the next week, 1st I would see the car placed up on stones or blocks and the wheels and tires removed. Then the next day the engine might be gone. Then, the doors, hood, and trunk would be gone. Gone girl or gone parts in this case.
........People say that fads and social change happen 1st in Ca. So, here in Fl. we may be early in that Ca.trend where people are scavenging for furniture and tools left near a road. If these trends continue, I would suggest now or in a few years that - if your car breaks down on the side of a road that maybe you should call AAA quickly and not walk away from it. Or it might end up a skeleton of its former self - and quicker than you think. Just saying!
What is a JimJam and what is it used for?
