He and his family get a bill for the manpower regularly. It is called a TAX bill.

The guy went missing for a while for whatever reason, his family got worried and reported it. It is not like a false report was filed or the guy did something ridiculously reckless and dangerous to put himself in a position where he needed to be rescued.

Shmuck, really? The guy may have some serious issues and you belittle him?
God forbid you ever need help.
