A potentially honest person might open a door and take something

I actually don't think this is the case. An honest person would not open a car door if they saw a note in the car. Sure crooks and theives would, but honest people don.t

As a counter-example, just look at what happens sometimes when you lose your phone or wallet. Oftentimes you get it back. A lot of people are honest.

Sure, but the number of people who would take it is greater than the number of people who will actively take it from your pocket, or from your locked house. A lot of people are honest does not exclude the fact that people can be opportunistic.
