Can you imagine that a user who unchecked a checkbox in the sidebar wants to check it again - maybe he has forgotten to see something or for any other reason?
So Andrew already asked, how to you add the no more existent checkbox again? Well, if the checkbox doesn't exist any more, the user has to reload the whole page - if he wants to go back to see an old overlay again - or maybe he decides to leave your page completely. So I'd think your purpose is not user friendly.
