The two morons behind that terrible "Balloon Boy" stunt are finally going to have to pay the price for all of their dumbassery -- a cool $42,000. 
The Larimer County District Attorney's office claims it sent the bill to Richard and Mayumi Heene -- demanding the couple pay restitution to the agencies which took part in the rescue attempt when they thought 6-year-old Falcon Heene had gone airborne in a massive Jiffy Pop-style hot air balloon.
According to the Denver Post, the DA claims the Heene's $42k will go towards the police, the national guard and the Federal Aviation Administration -- who all played a role on October 15.
A lawyer for the Heenes claims they won't pay a cent until they see receipts and records -- we're pretty sure there's no shortage of TV footage.

Their lawyer is an idiot, the bill is much deeper than that. They even had the airport involved. They should have thrown these two in jail and taken the kids.
Only 42 grand? Seems with all the agency's involved, should be more than that. They should also make them work the bill off in prison.
I hope they pay the farmer whose fields were destroyed in the chase!
I'm sure receipts, etc. will be easy to produce. I wonder what the Heene's attorneys will come with next as a stall tactic?
That's exactly what they deserved because of their lies to everyone. What's even worse is that they got had thier kids involved and taught them it's okay to lie and waste resources of police officials and everyone else involved. Pay up you bunch of dumbasses!!! Oh, and Merry Christmas! Hope it was all worth it!!!
Good. I hope they DO review the records then charge them TRIPLE!
These people are despicable.
Perhaps, the next couple that may wish to try this sort of stunt should wise up now! The children should be taken away from those two freaks! They also need to make a public appology to all the people that helped during this criminal activity,and the entire town!
I can't believe any self-respecting lawyer would take their case! Hopefully their kids will be taken away from them before they are damaged any further.
