How ReportLost works
You submit your loss
Tell us what you lost, where, and when. We handle the details so you don't have to track down each office separately.
We route it to the right places
Your report goes directly to the Myrtle Beach Police Department's Lost and Found desk, relevant local transit or airport offices if needed, and we draft alerts for community groups and social channels.
Automated monitoring finds your match
For months, we scan Facebook groups, Nextdoor, Reddit, marketplaces, and local channels for posts about found items matching yours. You get an alert the moment we spot a credible lead, so you're not refreshing feeds every day.
Where items typically go in Myrtle Beach
Knowing where to look helps, but ReportLost handles the legwork for you.
Myrtle Beach Police Department Lost and Found
Items found in public spaces or turned in to officers go to the Police Department's Lost and Found desk. Call their non-emergency dispatch line to check if your item has been logged, or file a report with them directly. We tell you which precinct covers your loss location and generate the exact details to include.

Myrtle Beach International Airport Lost and Found
Items left in terminals, security areas, baggage claim, or on aircraft are logged by airport staff. Call or visit the Information Desk to check on your item. The Lost and Found Department opens early and closes evening daily. We identify whether your loss happened at the airport and ensure your report reaches the right department.
Coast RTA Public Transit Lost and Found
Forget something on a local bus? Items left onboard are collected by drivers and stored at the Coast RTA office in Conway. Call during business hours to describe your item and check if it's been turned in. We pinpoint which route you used and make sure your report reaches Coast RTA's office.
Lost Pet? Humane Society and Animal Control
If you've lost a dog or cat in Myrtle Beach, contact Animal Control immediately (same number as Police non-emergency for city limits), or reach out to the Humane Society of North Myrtle Beach. They receive stray intakes and help reunite pets with owners. Local pet groups on Facebook and PawBoost spread the word fast. We can help you file a priority lost pet report that goes straight to all relevant shelters and rescue networks.

City Hall and Local Records
The City of Myrtle Beach maintains property records and can sometimes help trace ownership of found items. You can also file a report with them for items lost in city parks, public facilities, or on city property. We point you to the right department so your report reaches the correct desk.

The sooner you report, the better
Items move through lost and found systems quickly. Reporting right away means your description is fresher, more likely to match what someone found and reported, and our monitoring starts immediately. Once your report is in, you can breathe easy while we watch for matches.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Myrtle Beach can be scattered. Your item might end up at the Police Department's Lost and Found, the airport if you were traveling, a Coast RTA bus, or simply sitting with someone who found it on the beach or at a local business. Checking each place separately, then posting on five different Facebook groups and Reddit to hunt for it, eats up days.
ReportLost simplifies the whole process. Submit one report and we notify the Police Department, coordinate with airport and transit lost and found desks, seed your loss across community channels (Facebook groups, Nextdoor, r/MyrtleBeach), and then keep watching the web for you for up to a year. You don't have to manually refresh every group or listing site; our system alerts you the moment a credible match appears.

Frequently asked questions about lost items in Myrtle Beach
How long do the Police Department and Coast RTA hold items in Lost and Found?
The Myrtle Beach Police Department's Lost and Found typically holds items for 30 to 90 days, depending on the item type and condition.

What if my item was left at a business or restaurant?
Call the business directly first. Many shops, restaurants, and hotels keep lost and found items at their front desk or office. If you're unsure of the exact business, the Police Department can help you file a general report; officers often coordinate with local businesses.
How do I retrieve my item once it's been found?
Once you locate your item, contact the office or business holding it to confirm it's available and ask about pickup hours and any identification you may need to provide to claim it. The Police Department, airport, and Coast RTA will require you to describe the item and possibly provide proof of ownership.
Can ReportLost help me search for items lost at the airport?
