Battery fucked or anti-theft retarded?

If it runs as long as you got the jumper cables hooked up and dies when you unhook them it is most likely your alternator.

Probably because the battery is so dead low voltage can cause all kinds of stuff to act crazy

if it runs with the jumper cables hooked up but not with them off it is the alternator no way around that, nothing to do with anti theft, but in that sense it could be a bad ground and the alternator circuit is not completing so it is not charging, but no it is not the theft system.
