We need more info than that.

What triggered the anti theft system and how do you know it is the anti theft system shutting off your fuel pump?

Does your car roll over, or does it just kill everything when you turn the key to start it?

How long did you leave your battery disconnected for? Its just for a few seconds try about 5 minuets. If that doesn't work check your inertia switch.

Worse case scenario your anti theft is out, do you have your car fully covered? Maybe you could file it on your insurance?

Try cranking it and checking the fuel pressure. Maybe its got a dead fuel pump.
