I think in this example both are equally responsible:

1. People who kept their doors unlocked

2. Person who randomly entered doors & found things.

We need to take care of security of our properties, though stealing is wrong.

Nope, opening an unlocked door is still considered break&enter. AFAIK, the "unlocked door" can even be a beaded curtain. Turns out that the legal definition of "break" in this context is extremely old and doesn't correspond to lay usage anymore.

But I think that a better analogy would be asking the apartment manager to see your payment history and getting handed the entire apartment building's ledger.
