Your car is shot. Buy another one.

Yea, really. Wasn't the life cycle of a Cavy 5 years?

I'd start with the correct battery, properly installed, fully charged,
then test the alternator. If you can't do that, have it towed to
someone who can

theft light is usually solved with a resistor put in where the key
cylinder is, the key cylinder goes bad and causes the theft to think
the car may be stolen. In my car it's black and yellow wires behind
where the radio is, I just cut them and soldered in a 2 ohm resistor.
you can google for the problem and the solution to your particular
model.
