Raid a big army base for fun stuff
Blow up a skyscraper
Raid a few choice homes for awesome photos
Steal a super yacht
Drive an F16 to my house
Collect a lot of guns
Raid the local Ferrari and Lamborghini garage
See how fast I can make the city from my house in an Aventador- 42kms I'm thinking 10mins or so
See if I can get a 767 to even start
Steal the Mona Lisa, JFK files, Crown Jewels, Da Vinci's notebook from Bill Gates library, raid the Sultan of Brunei's garage etc

The definition of 'to steal' is to intend to permanently deprive the owner of his property. You can't steal stuff if nobody owns it. Blow up a skyscraper

Why 'steal' it anyway? You essentially have free reign over every single building on Earth. In effect, you own everything in the world. Why drag all your loot back to your hideout? Why not just leave it where it is, and go, and see it when you want?
Oh, and you're going to need to learn how to sail, or at least navigate at sea if you want to get to all those places and you can't fly.

As already stated, it'd be incredibly depressing. It would also be important to carry some means of ending it quickly if I ended up stuck down a deep hole/trapped in a car injured/stranded at sea, etc
Supposing the means of ending it didn't work.You might be horribly disfigured - even uglier than you are now, possibly.
Supposing you lost the use of your legs. You would have to crawl everywhere.
I mean, you think your life now is bad, it could get even worse.
No. It's no good, you will have to think of something else.

There was a novel on this subject, The Stand by Stephen King.
After mentally accepting that he was the last person on earth, he discovered there was someone else alive, and they were out to get him.
I've just bought it based on your synopsis. Don't let me down, I'd hate to have wasted £2.99!After mentally accepting that he was the last person on earth, he discovered there was someone else alive, and they were out to get him.

I would go around the bookshops and libraries gathering and reading everything I could find on subsistence farming.
Then, given that I'm assuming there will be no electricity and petrol has a finite shelf life, I would gather tools and seeds and fertiliser from nearby farmer's merchants. I would then, before the fuel goes off (probably two or three years post the 'event' that caused all this), load everything up into a suitable, self-maintainable 4x4 (e.g. land rover) and head to somewhere in the western isles, skye or maybe just the scottish borders, depending on how difficult the journey was. I would then get my homestead set up using the remaining fuel in the 4x4 and whatever fuel-driven tools I'd taken with me, before they stop working. I would hope for a couple of seasons with mechanical assistance before returning to pre-industrialised life.
I would settle in for the long haul. Collecting food and fuel in the summers and sitting it out in the winters. In a croft. By myself. With beauty and bleakness to stare upon. I would be working too hard and be too tired to worry about being bored. I'm in my forties now. If I'm lucky, I'd make it to my mid-fifties...

I think, if you went somewhere with a bit of sunshine, your crops might do better Then, given that I'm assuming there will be no electricity and petrol has a finite shelf life, I would gather tools and seeds and fertiliser from nearby farmer's merchants.

I seem to recall that Western Isles crofters struggled every day until they were driven out by the lairds.
