Hello,
The anti theft warning light does have the capacity to drain the battery, but it should take longer than a week.
Please note that every vehicle has certain amount of parasitic drain in the electrical system. Which will make the battery loose charge overtime and go completely dead after a certain period of time. That time will depend on the components of the electrical system of that particular car.
However many times you can have excessive parasitic draw/drain in your electrical system due to a faulty component. Like a glove box light staying on or a shorted window switch etc.
You can check and measure the parasitic draw by using a multimeter.
The Parasitic Draw (Current Drain) specification for your vehicle : Less than 50 milliamps (0.050 amp)
Here is a helpful video of how to do that task:

Please let me know of any questions.
Thank you.
