David Goldstein (Jewish Mythology) says that an ancient Hurrian text tell us that the household gods gave their possessor first claim on the family inheritance. Rachel was therefore acting in the best interests of her husband and children.
However, the biblical narrator appear to have known about the ancient custom. The rabbis did not know this either, and the only excuse that they provide, in the later Jewsih midrash, for Rachel's action is that she was trying to wean her father away from idolatory.
