Hood issues, it got worse

Hood issues, it got worse
Well, as some of you might recall, a couple weeks ago wasn't the greatest for me. Some thieves broke into my car and screwed some things up. Well, to add to the fun, I find out today that my hood latch lever is like butter. I pull it a couple times and the hood just stays shut. I felt up under the grill for a bit and found the wire and ball that's supposed to be attached to the latch no longer was. I'm guessing these guys yanked on the lever so hard when they broke into my car, that stripped something over and caused this to happenh.
Anyways, the thing is I have NO IDEA how to get my hood open now. I tried going underneath, but the radiator and its cap block my path to the latch. It's a 4th gen hatchback so if you have ANY IDEA how I migh tackle this other than taking it in, I'd appreciate it.

you might be able to use screwdriver or something from underneath, or take the cable loose from the inside to maximize the slack in the line, then maybe you could get the cable to slip back in long enough for one opening at least. after seeing the date, im probably too late, so did you get in?
