That it is legal can obviously be changed, and it being "unavoidable" is a matter of culture.
You could view stealing as "unavoidable" (ultimately, someone much bigger/stronger/with a weapon/etc _could_ just take your stuff on the street, right?). It's primarily through culture and cultural instruments that we reduce its prevalence.
Whether we choose to prioritise a given issue or not is, of course, up for debate, but we should acknowledge that it is, in fact, a choice.
