Car was driving fine all day. I drove to and from work, to the store, then to my mom's. When I got back in the car, it wouldn't start and the 'Theft System' light was on. It's not blinking, just stays on. I have no money to take it into the shop. Surely, there's something I can do to start my car.
Try the valet key or any other key that has the right chip in it

this is one way to reset it :
first make sure the battery is fully charged , then do the following:
key in the ignition but do not crank the motor, just leave it at the
ignition mode for ten minutes ,then turn it off POSITION for 5 seconds then REPEAT again 2 more times. at the 3 rd time youre gonna notice the ANTI THEFT light on dash to blink. when doing the last step , remove key , inserted again and turn on motor , good luck , AJ

My 2000 cavalier has done this for 6 months. You take your key out then open your door, wait ten minutes and the system resets itself and the car will start-annoying you bet!!!
SOURCE: 2000 Cavalier will not start due to anti theft wire
NO, you will need to have Mr. Chop Shop fix it, or take it to a real mechanic and send him the bill.
