Remove these two triggers from the class:
#TRIGGER {snaps %w fingers in front of you.} {#t+ antitheft}
#TRIGGER {You snap your fingers in front of yourself.} {#t+ antitheft}

And modify to this:
#TRIGGER {snaps %w fingers in front of you.} {#class antitheft {1}}
#TRIGGER {You snap your fingers in front of yourself.} {#class antitheft {1}}

Now disable the class (and set this as the default) and within the class enable all the triggers. The triggers wont fire as the class they are contained in is disabled...

By the way, for your triggers I would highly recommend using anchors (IE: ^ and $).
This will prevent people from messing with you via:

Whomever tells you 'You snap your fingers in front of yourself.'

You current triggers allow firing anywhere on the line so they can turn your settings on and off with the right commands/ tells. Not only is that bad, but since these can match anywhere on a line they are slow to boot... just an fyi.

Sure thing... just in case you have trouble finding them in the reference...

^ matches at the beginning of a line where $ matching the end of a line. So for the two modified above they we be better off as:

#TRIGGER {^snaps %w fingers in front of you.$} {#class antitheft {1}}
#TRIGGER {^You snap your fingers in front of yourself.$} {#class antitheft {1}}

Ok i got round to do that but still the triggers are not de/activated by de/activating the class

Ummm, so let me get this straight...
You have all these triggers in the class folder and while the folder is disabled the triggers still fire?

If thats the case I am at a loss. Should not happen.

Check for duplicates...

A quick test would be to modify one of the triggers in the class (take: You remove a small pouch.) for example.
In the main body (trigger actions) add in: #ECHO {Fired!}
Then (from the command bar do a: #ECHO {You remove a small pouch.}

If indeed your class is disabled and it is still firing then you will see "Fired!" echo to the screen for verification.
If you dont see "Fired!" but you do an action then somewhere you have a duplicate trigger firing at the same time...

Its worth checking for at least... lemme know
