Someone could have removed or bypassed the clutch interlock switch. You should be able to look above where the clutch pedal is to see it and it should be connected to two wires.

Does the car have remote start? If so that would be one reason. Im sure someone just grounded the wire out. Not a problem as long as you dont have it in gear when you start it.
