Electrical problem
1998 Volkswagen Passat 4 cyl Wheel Drive Type unknown Automatic 105698 miles

alright, if some1 any1 can solve this for me it would be great.
so a week ago from today someone broke my right front passenger side window to steal a worthless nonworking radar detector-
my insurance sent me to get my new window at a safelite bodyshop which I did yesterday afternoon, I gave the shop my car in perfectly fine condition what happened next is a huge puzzle

1. My alarm wont disarm itself and my car wont start
2. When I open my driver door my hood pops open
3. A "click" noise occurs inside the car as if the blinker was on but it goes to the same tone or tune as the little red alarm light (which wont shutoff)
3. The alarm light is on while the door is open and it goes crazy
4. The alarm light is off while the door is shut
5. Non of my lights turn on when I open the doors
6. When you turn the key to lock the car- the car locks but doesnt make that final "beep"
6. The guy that changed my glass claims the only electrical he touched was by the door where he needed to set up the automatic window opener again.

and some maybe helpful information may be that- my actual alarm remote control have batteries that I got 5 months ago but that simply wont get the alarm to work with the touch of a button so I have gotten used to arming and disarming my car by turning the key either way and have not used the remote in a long time- - however when the guy said he went to go unlock my car he used the remote and said nothing happened so he unlocked it manually and that the lock opened but the driver side door wouldn't?
idk if maybe he pressed a button that triggered something else or what but not 1 dealership has any idea what the problem could be and insurance says I have to prove that they ruined my electrical and if I cant prove it then all the repairs are on me.

somebody please help me

Sounds like a fault in the driver side door lock mechanism
get diagnostic done on central locking system and that may show the problem if not go to VW and get them to reprogram the central locking and the key
