Personally, I would say, no, not the same outlook, unless you treat any system where an advantage is gained by one actor over another.
But I don't think we can equivocate the action of not only breaking into a system (weak or not) and stealing something from others, from the government (or any actor) leaving money on the table due to their inefficiencies, or lack of foresight.
But if we're going for false equivalencies, you could also say that government's using the act of force to take money is also equally wrong, which is the typical libertarian argument.
I'm not a big fan of either argument, as they all fall apart as soon as you get into the details.
