Default Alarm goes off randomly

Hi,
I have my car for 2 years and as far as i know the alarm never went off. However a month ago it started going off at random times and for no apparent reason. There does not seem to be a logic to it at all. Anybody any idea?

Thanks!

The hood switch located under the latch assembly tends to cause this. Had it happen on my 04

Mr hippy is correct, one of the latches has a black sheet metal cover which

hides the switch under the latch.

Thanks for the replies, is this a matter of replacing the hood switch? Is this difficult.
