The sign was taken from the mobile home park at around 3 p.m. Tuesday, according to Barbara Patrick, the owner.
She and her husband Cecil said a police report has been filed. "Myrtle Manor," also known as Patrick's Mobile Home Park, is located off Highway 15 in Myrtle Beach.
The Myrtle Manor sign was stolen back in March of 2013, shortly after the reality show premiered on TLC.
The third season of the show is expected to begin filming on August 8, according to the Myrtle Manor Facebook page.
The reality show features the ‘colorful residents' in the ‘five-star trailer park' of Myrtle Manor, according to its website.
The show first aired March 3, 2013.

Okay, here's my take on this article posted on WMBF News website. I confess. I have watched every episode of Myrtle Manor thus far. I have even driven through the movie set location in Patrick Trailer Park. I live in Myrtle Beach so why wouldn't this intrigue me. This is similar to the perception of Tiger Woods. You either hate it/him or you love it/him, not much wiggle room for in between. I am a wiggler just the same. As mentioned in this article they're about to begin shooting episodes for season number three. Yep, I'll most likely watch them too. One must keep it in perspective. It's like watching wrestling on television. I go into this realizing most of it is staged and fake. Reality TV is not really reality as we live it. My life as a reality show would be canceled after the first episode...boring...that is unless I did stuff to make it more entertaining. Those who know me, know that isn't going to happen because I'm so shy and introverted. Well...I used to be.
Recap...the sign has been stolen for a second time. Souvenir hunter or someone totally embarrassed by the show, there lies the mystery. Possibly it was a publicity stunt or munity on the Myrtle. Some have been real pissed about the show depicting the community and palmetto state as a bunch of dumb ass hicks. Oddly, many of the characters on the show have been northerners. Actually depicting a Myrtle Beach trailer park speckled with northerners (Yankees for those not catching my drift), is probably more accurate. Living here for ten years now in the tourist community, I have realized that I am the minority, an anomaly, as few South Carolinians actually live here.
Be careful how you stereotype grand strand dwellers. Good ole boys don't sound like wise guys when they talk. We like grits, fried chicken, our style pizza and we wave when we meet you, whether we know you or not. We like the ways things are and don't expect the world to change just because we moved here. We're laid back and slow because it is less stressful and that's the way we like it. We're not lazy. We just work smart. Myrtle Manor is just a show. Wrestling isn't real. Make believe and an hour of silly ass entertainment is just that...entertaining.
I don't take it seriously and can remote to any one of a zillion other channels if I don't like it or feel offended. This is America. Right now I have choices. File that one away for another time; change isn't always good. I write this stuff because I like doing it. It's my form of entertainment for those who enjoy reading it and put up with my babbling. If you don't...then don't. I'll sleep well if you don't and you'll sleep better by not allowing it to get all bent out of shape. I write mostly fiction novels. Guess what, it's mostly make believe. Well, the names have been changed to protect the innocent or maybe the guilty.
Myrtle Manor...its just a show looking for ratings and a following. It's your choice to watch it or not. If the ratings suck, it will go away. Third season filming...someone must be watching. Get your own sign and leave theirs alone, how about it? Okay...now go back to whatever you were doing before I reeled you in...that is if you got this far.
