Whatever happens, one thing is certain - your father doesn't want to live in a house with broken windows.

It just doesn't fit well with the story of the Prodigal son, imo.

And the son said to him, 'Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you; I am no longer worthy to be called your son.'

But the father said to his servants, 'Bring quickly the best robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet; and bring the fatted calf and kill it, and let us eat and make merry; for this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found.' And they began to make merry.

The prodigal son story is about forgiveness, not consequences. That is why it is a story about a father and a son as God the Father and the sinner, but with no role played by Christ.
