How ReportLost works in Forestbrook
You describe what you lost
Tell us what went missing, where, and when. Include details like color, brand, or distinguishing marks. We gather everything needed to alert the right places.
We route it to the authorities and community
Your report goes directly to Horry County Police, relevant city services, local lost and found centers, and active Forestbrook and Myrtle Beach community groups. No runaround, no guessing which precinct or office.
Your report keeps searching
After the initial alert, your report stays active and matches against new found item posts, marketplace listings, and social announcements in the area. You don't have to check Facebook groups or local sites every day—we alert you when a credible match appears.
Where to report lost items in Forestbrook
These are the key places to contact. ReportLost handles the routing for you.
Horry County Police Department
The primary law enforcement agency for Forestbrook. The 5th Precinct is located in your area. File a lost property report for stolen or lost items, and call the non-emergency line to check on lost and found inventory. We route your report to the right precinct and generate the details they'll need.
City of Myrtle Beach Services
Forestbrook is a suburb of Myrtle Beach, and lost items from commercial areas, parking lots, or public spaces often end up with Myrtle Beach city services. Call the police non-emergency line or city hall for guidance on where to claim recovered items. We identify the correct city department and provide you with the exact contact method.
Myrtle Beach International Airport
If you lost your wallet, phone, ring, or other valuables at the airport or while traveling through, the airport's lost and found office (part of security) is your first stop. Items are held for a set period before being donated. We can point you to the exact lost and found desk and what information to provide.
Lost Pets
Losing a dog, cat, or other pet requires immediate action and coordination with animal control and local shelters. Horry County Animal Care Center, the Humane Society of North Myrtle Beach, and local rescue groups all track missing pets. Post alerts on pet-specific channels, call animal control, and check shelters daily. File a priority lost pet report with ReportLost to ensure your pet reaches all the right rescue networks.

The sooner you report, the better your chances
The first few hours matter most. Once you file a report with ReportLost, our team contacts the right offices and channels right away, while you focus on other steps—checking with neighbors, calling local merchants, or posting on community sites. Your report starts working immediately.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Forestbrook or the surrounding Myrtle Beach area means contacting multiple offices—the Horry County Police Department, city services, local businesses, and community groups—often without knowing which one has your item. Most lost and found systems operate in silos, and once you file a report, the search stops unless you keep following up yourself.
ReportLost simplifies the process. File one report, and we handle the routing to police, city offices, transit authorities if needed, and active local community channels. Better still, your report stays active and keeps searching for a match across found items and local posts for your entire search period, so you can move forward with peace of mind.

Questions about lost and found in Forestbrook
How long will Horry County Police hold a lost item?
The Horry County Police Department holds unclaimed lost property for a set retention period before releasing or donating items. Call the non-emergency line at 843-248-1520 or the Records Division at 843-915-8340 to ask about a specific item and its status. Having your case number helps speed up the process.
If I lost something at Myrtle Beach Airport, where do I claim it?
Contact the airport's lost and found office at (843) 448-1580, option 6. Items are held for a limited time, so call as soon as possible. The office is part of the security department and can track items left at gates, security, or in the terminal.
What should I do if I lost my pet in Forestbrook?
Contact Horry County Animal Care Center immediately at the number listed on their lost pets page, post on local pet rescue Facebook groups, call the Humane Society of North Myrtle Beach at (843) 249-4948, and alert animal control. Microchip databases and PawBoost can also help spread the word. Time is critical for pet recovery.
Do I need to file a report with the police if I lost my wallet or phone?
It depends on the circumstances. If it was stolen or lost in a crime scene, file a police report for insurance and fraud prevention. For items lost in public or at businesses, starting with that location's lost and found is faster, but filing with police creates an official record. ReportLost can route your report to both channels.
How do I know if my item has been turned in to a local business?
Call the specific location (restaurant, store, hotel) where you lost the item within 24 hours. Most businesses hold items for 30 to 90 days before discarding or donating them. Keep a description handy, including size, color, and any ID or unique markings.
Is ReportLost.org official, or does it replace the police?
ReportLost is an independent service, not a government agency. We are not affiliated with Horry County Police, Myrtle Beach, or any municipal authority. We do not replace filing a police report or contacting official lost and found offices—we complement those steps by routing your report to the right channels and keeping it active across multiple platforms and locations for months. For criminal theft, always file with police directly.
