You may have to remove the grill or try to grab the cable through the grill. Good luck

I have alway had them brake at the hood latch inside the vehicles where you could still get a set of pliers on them, thats a first for me inside the engine well. I would have to agree with Michael and say going through your grill would be the best bet since its inaccessible any were else. Keep in mind you might be able to notch your grill to gain access..
what if you raised it on a lift, removed the front tire and inner wheel house on the side the cable goes to. Then, if you can access the cable sheath there, judge by the length of cable that came out when it broke, where to cut the sheath. The cable would hang out after your next cut perhaps, twist it around a dowel.... bob's your uncle. Relocate it till you can buy one. Have it accessible from the front. Nobody wants to steal anything anyways, it's a suzuku, i, or sudoku, or whatever.
