1999 infiniti g20 anti-theft system problems please advise?

Greetings all. I have a problem with my 1999 g20, the car has been parked for a yr. Previously I had the car "stolen" by one of my ex-gfs "friend" I was able to get the car back but not the key and or remote. When the ex found the car was locked and she (that's what she said) broke a window to unlock the door activating the alarm. Now I got a key made for it but the car won't start. It could be the battery but I'm running two pairs of jumper cables. My question is; do I need to replace the anti-theft relay? Since when I turn the key I hear a relay on the fuse panel clicking. Or is it just the battery? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

    Huge fail, you never use more then one set of jumper cables. If the battery itself is bad, jumper cables will not help. Check the relay first, take another one out and swap them and try that first, if it doesn't work, check the starter fuse. If the fuse is fine, check the voltage on the battery, if its 11.75 or under, charge it. If its over that and drops under 11.3v while trying to start it, go get a new battery.
