Usually, one's only "clue" is a noisy engine start-up in the morning, when it's too late to do anything about it.

When I did spot one, they had time to brush their teeth, pee, shampoo, and wash up before the MPs arrived (to wonder about the only boat they passed while getting to the scene).

Last night's winds would have had your boat dragging its anchor.
Depending on the makeup of the bottom (which you wouldn't have known for sure when anchoring) you could have collected, disconnected, tangled, or damaged lots of mooring lines, lakewater supply pipes, moorings, swim lines, moored boats, docks, and docked boats before you knew it. (And woke up and were able -- perhaps -- to discover what was happening in the dark.)
Seems as though NH considered the unforeseen costs of LFOD. Some folks have not.
