Ready to move forward?
The sooner you report, the sooner your search reaches the right people and starts actively matching. Once your report is in, your part is done, and we handle the coordination.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Myrtle Grove means contacting multiple places separately, the Wilmington Police Department in one place, local animal shelters in another, plus checking Facebook groups and Craigslist yourself over and over. It's fragmented, time-consuming, and easy to miss a match because something posted while you weren't looking. ReportLost simplifies this by filing your loss once and routing it to every relevant local channel.
The real difference is what happens after you report. Instead of you checking community boards every day for months, your report stays active and continuously searches for a match against new found items, with alerts sent directly to you. Whether you've lost a wallet, a pet, or something precious, you can move forward knowing the search is working for you automatically.

Questions about reporting in Myrtle Grove
How long does the Wilmington Police Department hold lost property?
Procedures vary by type of item. Contact Wilmington Police at (910) 343-3600 during business hours (Monday-Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.) to ask about your specific item. If you've already filed a report with ReportLost, we'll have already provided them with your contact details.
Where do I pick up found items in Myrtle Grove?
Most found property is held at the Wilmington Police Department headquarters (615 Bess St., Wilmington, NC 28401) or at the location where the item was found. If you used ReportLost, we'll have directed your report to the right office and they'll know to contact you when a match appears.
Does Wrightsville Beach have a separate lost and found?
Yes, Wrightsville Beach Town Hall handles found property in that area separately. You can reach their dispatch at (910) 452-6120. If your loss occurred near Wrightsville Beach, ReportLost will include them in your routing.
What if I lost something at ILM airport?
Call ILM Lost and Found at (910) 341-4336 (the preferred method) or (910) 341-4125. Items found at security checkpoints are held by TSA. ReportLost will ensure your report reaches the airport's lost and found office so they can flag your item if it turns up.
My pet is missing. Should I only post in Facebook groups?
Facebook groups are fast and community-driven, but they're not guaranteed to reach everyone or keep searching long-term. Filing a priority lost pet report with ReportLost ensures your pet's description stays active across multiple channels for months, with automatic matching and alerts.
Is ReportLost.org an official service?
ReportLost is an independent service, not part of the police or city government. We work alongside official lost and found channels, filing your report with them and sharing it across local networks. We don't replace calling police directly, but we save you the time and effort of contacting each place separately, and your report stays active searching for you long after you'd stop checking yourself.
