Did you check your main fuse? Or any of your other fuses?

Just FYI too, I doubt bridging the starter would have gotten the car to start. Anti-theft (which relates to having the key fob) effectively stops the ECU from working, which means no fuel flow and no spark.

You really ought to start by checking all the fuses and fusible links in the engine bay and in the car.
