Default What is the problem????

Ok so I bought my 04 3.9l in Oct of 2007 and have never had a problem. So 2 weeks ago for some reason my key or somethin got messed up so I had to have my car towed to a Ford dealership so they could re-program the key. So I figure it was just some freak accident that my key got messed up. Well I got my car back from them 2 days ago. Well today again the same thing happened and now my car wont start again! I tried my old key and the new key they made me and neither worked.

When I try to start the car the "THEFT" light flashes fast and when I originally took it in they said when that happens the key needs to be re-programed.

Like I said I have never had a problem before. Today it was fine and so I hooked my SCT Livewire back up and redownloaded one of the pre-loaded tunes and then it wouldnt start. Is the SCT causing my car/key to get messed up? Someone help please???

Idk... but my moms car had to have new keys because she lost them.. but the man who programed them said if we found the old ones do not use them because it would thow it into theft mode and could take 30mins to a couple of hours for it to come out....
