North Myrtle Beach spans multiple jurisdictions, a busy beach community, restaurants, shops, and residential areas where wallets, phones, rings, and beloved pets vanish every day. When you lose something, the police department, the airport, local merchants, and community groups all have separate systems. You end up making five phone calls, posting in three Facebook groups, and checking Craigslist twice a week—exhausting and easy to miss the one post that could reunite you with your ring or your cat.

ReportLost simplifies that chaos. You fill out one form with what you lost, and we route your report to the North Myrtle Beach Police Department, the right local lost & found offices, and the community channels where found items are posted. Better still, your report doesn't expire after a few days. It stays active and continues to search for a match automatically for your entire search period (12 months), comparing against every new post and listing. You won't miss the moment your wallet or your dog is found.

Common places where items go missing in North Myrtle Beach

We've seen losses across the entire area. Wherever you lost something, report it.

Barefoot Landing & Downtown

High foot traffic through shops, restaurants, and attractions. Wallets, phones, and sunglasses slip out of pockets and bags constantly.

Myrtle Beach Airport & Surrounds

Travelers leave behind bags, rings, and electronics at check-in, security, and baggage claim. The airport has a dedicated lost & found; we ensure your report reaches them.

The Beach & Piers

Sand and ocean claim phones, rings, wallets, and keys. Busy weekends mean dozens of items washed ashore or buried daily.

Pets wander off, keys disappear on doorsteps, and packages are misplaced. Community groups and social channels are your best allies here.

Commuters and visitors leave phones, bags, and jackets on buses. Report to the bus operator within hours for the best chance of recovery.

Frequently asked questions

How long will the police hold items they find or receive?

The North Myrtle Beach Police Department typically holds lost items for a set period, usually 30 to 90 days depending on the item and circumstances. Once you file a report with us, they're alerted, which improves the chance they'll hold your item longer. Contact the police non-emergency line at 843-280-5511 to ask about the specific holding period for your loss.

What if I lost something at the airport?

Myrtle Beach Airport has a dedicated lost & found office. Call 843-448-1580 (Option #6) and describe what you lost and where (terminal, security, baggage claim). We route your report to them so they're actively looking and holding the item for you. Allow a few business days for them to search their inventory.

I lost my pet. What's the fastest way to report it?

Time is critical for lost pets. The Humane Society of North Myrtle Beach (843-249-4948) and local animal control (via the police at 843-280-5511) should be called immediately. We also recommend filing a priority lost pet report with us, which broadcasts to Facebook pet groups and Nextdoor. The sooner multiple channels know, the sooner a neighbor or shelter can spot your cat or dog.

Will my report stay in the system indefinitely?

No, but it stays active for a long time. When you file a report through ReportLost, you choose a search period of 12 months. During that entire time, your report is circulated and compared against new found items and social posts automatically. After your period ends, you can renew or let it expire.

What if I lost something on a Coast RTA bus?

Call the bus operator's lost & found number at 843-488-0865 as soon as you realize the loss. Describe the item and which route you were on. Items are typically held for a limited period. We notify Coast RTA when you file a report, so they're aware and on the lookout.

Is ReportLost.org official, or does it replace the police?

ReportLost is an independent service, not part of the North Myrtle Beach Police Department or any government agency. We don't replace reporting to the police or filing a formal lost property report. Instead, we work alongside official channels. You can file a police report through the police department (843-280-5511) and also use ReportLost to ensure your item is circulated across multiple channels and stays in active search mode for months. The two work together.
