Surely an oversight, but no a single mention of the Sherrifs dept threatening to sue the couple for the cost of their rescue.

You mean, hey, a rescue like it should be- happy to have helped the folks, no harm no foul, no charge for rescue in accordance with the MRA and NASAR stances... ;-)

Maybe they can work it off working sanitation or something?!? :-)

Each spring, the United States Coast Guard has to rescue a growing number of ice fishermen (and women?) because they can't seem to follow simple instructions and get their shanties off the ice in Saginaw Bay when the ice gets too thin to safely support it, them or their vehicles.

I don't see how this couple who were a victim of the weather (not because they weren't prepared) should have to be charged anything. It's a simple matter of they got caught in circumstances that they couldn't negotiate. That IS what the whole rescue thing is all about.

Unlike the ice fishermen/women that were mentioned in the begining of this post, who have been told to get their equipment off the ice because it was deemed unsafe in the first place. THIS is a 'chargeable offense' and from what I remember, it's $1,500.00 minimum.
