How it works
You file your report
Tell us what you lost, where, and when. We gather all the details needed to alert the people who can help.
We route it to the right channels

For the full length of your search period, your report continues matching against new found items and community posts. You'll get an alert as soon as a credible match appears, without having to revisit sites every day.
Where to report locally
If you'd prefer to report directly, here's what each office handles
Horry County Police Department
The primary agency for lost property reports in Socastee. They log items and maintain a lost and found database. We identify which precinct covers your loss and submit on your behalf. Non-emergency dispatch: 843-248-1520 (open Monday–Friday, 8am–5pm). If you've already found your item and need to pick it up, call 843-915-8343 to book an appointment between 9am and 3pm, Monday through Friday.
Myrtle Beach International Airport (MYR)
Lost something at the terminal, security checkpoint, or on the tarmac? The airport's Lost and Found Department is located at 1100 Jetport Road and operates daily from 7am to 7pm. We'll make sure the airport knows what to look for. Call their Lost and Found desk at 843-448-1580, option 6.
Local Transit & Ride Services
If you left something on a bus or shuttle in the Socastee area, the Coast RTA (Myrtle Beach transit) collects lost items at the end of each route and holds them at the transit center. We'll alert them with your description so they can flag it if it comes in.
Shops, Restaurants & Public Places
Lost an item at a local business, park, or common area? We help you reach the right manager or office to report it and ask them to check their lost and found. We also post to community groups where locals share found items.
Lost Pet?
If you've lost a dog, cat, or other pet in Socastee, the Horry County Animal Care Center and the Humane Society of North Myrtle Beach are your emergency contacts. They intake strays and post found pets daily. Active community groups like Lost Pets of Horry/Georgetown Counties and the Lost Pets Myrtle Beach SC Facebook page also circulate alerts immediately. We streamline the reporting and get word to shelters and rescue networks fast so your pet gets maximum visibility. File a priority lost pet report

The sooner you report, the better
Items found in Socastee are often turned in within hours or a day. Once you file your report, our team notifies all the right channels immediately, and your report then remains active in the background, automatically cross-checking new found posts and lost and found updates. You don't have to do the legwork.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Socastee means contacting separate agencies: the police department, the airport (if you flew out), maybe a shop or restaurant, plus checking Facebook groups and local posts yourself. Each contact takes time, and if you miss a post, you might not know someone found your item.
ReportLost simplifies it. File once, and your report automatically reaches the people and platforms most likely to have your item or know where it is. Then you can step back, because your signalement remains active and searching for you, matching new found posts and announcements until you're reunited with your loss. No daily checking required.

Common questions
How long does the police department hold lost items?
Horry County Police typically holds found property for 90 days before disposal. However, once you file a report with us, they're alerted to watch for your specific item, which extends your practical window. Always pick up as soon as you're notified of a match.
Can I report something lost without going to the police station in person?
Yes. ReportLost files your report on your behalf with the Horry County Police non-emergency line. If you prefer to report in person, the main precinct is located at 2560 Main Street, Suite 7, Conway, SC 29526 (part of the Horry County jurisdiction that covers Socastee).
What should I do if I find an item on the bus?
Give it to the driver immediately. All items found on Coast RTA buses are turned in at the end of the route. If you're trying to locate something you lost on transit, call the transit center or contact ReportLost and we'll file a report with them.
If I lost my pet, how quickly should I file a report?
As soon as possible. Pets are most often reunited within the first few hours or days. File immediately so shelters, rescue groups, and community pages are alerted. The Horry County Animal Care Center and Humane Society of North Myrtle Beach both post found strays online daily.
What if I lost my item at the Myrtle Beach International Airport?
Report it to the airport's Lost and Found Department directly (843-448-1580, option 6, open 7am–7pm daily), or file with ReportLost and we'll ensure they're notified and know to watch for your item. They hold items for at least 30 days.
Is ReportLost.org official, and does it replace reporting to the police?
ReportLost is an independent service that submits your report to official agencies like the Horry County Police Department, airport lost and found, and relevant community channels on your behalf. We don't replace the police, but we do handle the routing and follow-up work so you don't have to contact each place separately. If your item involves a crime or damage, you should also file a police report yourself or request one through us.
