That's why no one turns off a 2010 Corolla (they just drive around in circles forever). (I'm joking).
Seriously, it is an alarm/security light. It tells you that the anti-theft alarm is working. That doesn't mean that the alarm actually is working, but it means that the system thinks that it is.
Maybe the audio alarm was disconnected? Maybe someone bypassed the alarm system?
