Isn't the private key like 256 Bit? But then again, you might be lucky.
Cracking an address takes more time than the life of the universe. Good luck

Mmhh... it seems you are a bit confused about how mining work
Seriously? "Why not just steal instead of helping to secure the network of a possibly world changing technology?" Are you that moronic?
Forget the moral problem everyone will have with your theft. If you steal a large block of bitcoins (assuming you get lucky on the first try) you have to liquidate them. Word gets out some guy got his wallet hacked by someone using an ASIC or whatever and hacking the keys to transfer the Bitcoins out and good luck selling your ill gotten gains. No one will want to buy bitcoins.

The search for nonces changes every 10 minutes. An address with a lot of coin might be in cold storage and you might be able to search for months uninterrupted and your reward might be very high.
