If I build a machine that is supposed to control the distribution of money to people with credit at my institution, and I **** up and the machine gives more money than it's supposed to, isn't that my fault? Nobody broke in to a car, or took unguarded money off of a table. The bank gave it to him through their own incompetence.

You gave a thief access to the money on your table through your own incompetence.

Sure, the bank is responsible for safeguarding access to its cash. People are also responsible for not taking things that do not belong to them or they have no legal right to.
