Welcome to the Forums, JillBao! I see nothing ambiguous about the sign. Do you have reason to believe there is another meaning, other than "don't go away, leaving things of value here"?

I assume you've been given the assignment of finding another unusual interpretation of this common sign.
It is:
Don't leave your valuables behind unless someone leaves with you.
(Strange assignment.)
