The Harry’s Bar Pizza Man is still missing, and the Vito’s cougar never showed up. Now someone has stolen the big orange chair.
Retrofit Home says somebody walked off with the giant plastic chair from outside the E Pike store sometime Monday night.
The chair has sat outside the store for years and frequently serves as a spot to take a goofy photo or two in the midst of Pike/Pine’s hustle and bustle.
The shop is offering a reward for anyone with information leading to the chair’s return.
UPDATE 8/15/2024: The store didn’t share details but reports the Big Orange Chair is back home.

We can’t leave packages outside our apartments. Why would a business expect that things sitting on the sidewalk in the busiest part of the neighborhood not be stolen in this day and age? Sorry – chain your stuff up next time.
Maybe a distinction should be made between the motivation of porch pirates v. icon thieves?
Nothing is sacred anymore for these wild bums swiping things from people
Stupid people swiping things out front has been happening since people.
I am willing to bet it was some drunk thinking it would make their friends laugh to steal it
Someone is starting up a collection… Vito’s cougar, Olympic Kitchen’s pizza man… now Retrofit’s bit orange chair..
