I have a 2009 Ford Focus se and I like to believe I set off the anti theft lock on the car and it won’t start

Disconnect the battery and clamp the two cables together for about 15mins to drain the memory off the computer then try again.

Anti-theft system seems to have been activated?

Some months ago I began starting the engine of my 2001 Chrysler 300M but turned it of before it really started "was sloppy with the key". The anti-theft system went on for some unknown reason. I disarmed it by disconnecting one of the battery connections under the hood with a wrench. I connected it again, the anti-theft system was off but the battery was dead. Battery was OK after recharging, I have had no trouble since then.

I have a Prius and the anti theft icon flashes when the car is off... it just started doing it... will it run my battery down

As far as I know, both my original 2005 and my current 2007 flash that light when the car is off. I believe that is the whole point - to show any would-be thief that the car may be "protected." A small battery can flash an LED light for weeks or months or even longer, so I wouldn't worry about the blinking LED draining your Prius' 12V battery.
