Not sure how to post a reply that will not be taken the wrong way.
Until they start reinstalling the lighted marker buoys they would probably do nothing. More than likely as they go around the lake doing the spring maintenance they probably use some sort of master chart and check each one for position and if it is there at all. Keep in mind there are a lot of lakes to check beyond Winnipesaukee that need to be looked after. According to the Marine Patrols web-site they maintain over 5000 navigation aids.
After the lighted buoys are in (some what signaling the end of spring maintenance), I'm sure they would investigate any report of a missing marker immediately. At the moment I think it would be like "
everyone" with out power calling into the power company during an outage with redundant reports.
I think only a handful of people do this job at Marine Patrol. Give them a chance.
