Sorry you cant compare a car to wifi traffic. But if you had to to accomodate lower minds then you would have to put the scenario like this: Someone leaves their car on your property with the doors unlocked and GIVES you a key. It definately would not be theft if you drove the car especially when you only drive it on your property only. Your router only gives access to those that you approve, if you set your router to approve everyone then you cant complain about it later. Ignorance does not give you extra rights to pretend you did not approve people when you did. Now if you set even the weakest security and someone circumvents that then it would be theft.
