I think your alarm system has disabled the car because it thinks it is being stolen.

Best answer I can give is to have it towed to a dealership.  
They would be the only ones with the access to the codes to clear the alarm.

I am with @ Yosemite on this one, would bet a few pesetas that something is wrong with the alarm system. An outside chance the battery / alternator are failing and there is not enough power to run everything. I assume you are in Spain and this is the Audi built car for your market.

I forget now is the bonnet the hood or the trunk? I didn’t know they had hood indicators but that’s a good idea. On our last Acura, more than once I’d be driving on the highway and discover the hood had been unlatched.
