The alarm won't set if it thinks the bonnet/boot or any doors are open. The car will lock but you won't get the correct indicator flash IIRC, like you get when a door is ajar.
So in this case your alarm can't have been setting - a possible but unlikely 'theft plan'?
Even if it was a 'theft plan' (too complicated in my view) why would they unclip the scuttle tray wire clips too? if you wanted to secretly undo the bonnet sensor, you would unplug it and leave the wiring where it was so as not to attract attention.
It looks like someones had the scuttle tray off at some point and not put the wire back IMO, it looks in place in the 3rd photo, but in the first photo it has clearly been undone and laid round the other side of the gas strut, just as you would do when removing the scuttle (as I've done many times). The little wire clips are tricky to undo without breaking.
Is your alarm setting correctly with it disconnected??

The alarm was working just the other week.
I accidentally locked the doors when my daughter was sitting in the car which did trigger the alarm.
Didn't notice how it behaved after I noticed it was disconnected. It is connected again.
