If most people have stolen something (have they?) it seems more likely to be out of carelessness than out of irresistible temptation.

I don't think so, especially if you also count the ‘theft’ of non-rivalrous goods such as soft copies of copyrighted material. (I dunno about how we could set about to find out who is right about “most people”, though.)
