+1 Why is your alarm armed when your popping the hood I would hope that if I have an alarm and someone tried to pop my hood, my alarm would go off.

Did you buy the car used?

Previous owner might have installed a hood light type switch, that when the hood is open it goes to a dummy load (acts like a light bulb) that creates current draw on the battery and setting off your alarm.
