A woman said she bought a stylish set of chairs for $100 from a Facebook Marketplace seller but discovered they were likely stolen from McDonald’s

• Three years ago, TikTok user @martressler purchased a set of four chairs on Facebook Marketplace, which she called “a steal.”

• It was a “kind of a red flag” when the seller then promptly deleted his profile, she told TikTok viewers.

• Last week, she said she strolled into a McDonald’s in Georgia and discovered the same chairs there.

A woman was thrilled with her Facebook Marketplace purchase three years ago, although, in hindsight, she felt it was “kind of a red flag” that the seller deleted his page immediately following the transaction.

Today, TikTok user @martressler believes the set of four chairs she purchased was likely stolen from a McDonald’s in South Georgia. She shared her awkward and hilarious discovery last week, tickling TikTok viewers.

“I thought they were cute, and I always wondered where they were from,” she said of the chairs – each touting a sleek wooden structure accented with a thick, black hatching design.

In a TikTok comment, the creator noted she paid $100 for the set, which she called “a steal.”

But fast forward to last week, during a trip to South Georgia, @martressler said she saw the “identical” chairs stacked across the dining room at a local McDonald’s. “Those are stolen McDonald’s chairs,” the creator said through hysterical laughter in her video, which has been watched 171,000 times.

She offered to return the “stolen artifacts” to McDonald’s – though commenters urged her to keep them, extolling their sleek design and presumed sturdiness. Other viewers noted that their local McDonald’s (in Philadelphia and Florida, according to some commenters) had the exact same furniture.

“Girl keep the chair. I’m sure they have a budget for things like that 😂 plus you paid for them😂,” one person wrote.

Some users said that fast food furniture is often sourced from fairly reliable vendors.

“Usually the furniture at quick service food places is actually really good quality bc it has to last constant wear and tear over 5-10 years!” another noted.

People are mostly amused by this turn of events.

“Imagine the crackhead energy required to steal chairs from McDonald’s,” one person joked.

@martressler did not respond to Insider’s request for comment. Insider has also reached out to McDonald’s for comment.
