An Allston icon has mysteriously disappeared, and the popular watering hole Silhouette Lounge believes a sign bandit is to blame.

Affectionately known by the bar staff as “Left Guy,” one of two silhouetted figures toasting drinks on the bar’s sign on top of the building went missing several days ago.

“To the person who keeps stealing pieces off our sign, it better look real friggen cool wherever you put it, like REAL COOL,” a Silhouette employee said on an Instagram post Aug. 2.

Hashtags on the post’s caption indicated that staff looked on the roof, in case “Left Guy” had taken a drunken tumble off its logo, but there were no signs of “Right Guy’s” drinking buddy on the property.

After several days without any answers or clues in the mysterious disappearance, the Silhouette is offering a reward — “no questions asked” — for Left Guy’s safe and swift return.

The search party of local private eyes in the making that successfully locates Left Guy gets a $100 gift card, “equivalent to 50 late-night ‘Sil Dogs,’” the bar’s hot dogs, or quite a few nights of Narragansett at the bar.

“The Sil has reason to believe Left Guy could very well still be in the area, given his strong ties to the community,” a release said Monday.

The Sil crew offered a tip line, their Instagram DMs, to anyone who can share information about Left Guy’s whereabouts. Responses may also be shared on the Silhouette’s Instagram story anonymously to help search efforts.
