CHICAGO — Keep an eye on those lawnchairs, dibs lovers.

A Craigslist seller claims to have snatched 350 chairs from North Side streets — and is apparently hoping to profit from them.

"In driving around the Northside these past few days I'm seeing hundreds of chairs being abandoned on the streets," the post reads. "I've collected about 350 various chairs- wood, metal, folding, plastic-stacking, office, task and even some stools!"

The chairs are listed for $5 each "regardless of condition or smell."

An email to the seller was not immediately returned, so its legitimacy is questionable.

"Great for bingo halls, AA meetings and even your own backyards," the ad said.

Even if this seller didn't grab your patio furniture from the street, Streets and Sanitation might.
