Thank previous owner, or can this happen on its own? - Part of grille not flush

Noticed this today. Looks like the grille is popped out and not flush with the bumper. Is this a sign that the front bumper has had work done/removed? I can't imagine this popping out on its own. Anyone ever see this? Side view from the passenger side:

May have hit something, You can probably pop it back in if you disassemble the bumper.

first of all the front bumper may have been removed but the grille is attached to the bumper. they come off as one piece.
there are lots of plastic clips back there.
they could have POPPED out but I suspect that isnt your original bumper.
your original should have the vin sticker IIRC.

one other thing.
you remove the front bumper to change a bulb in headlight and MANY other things so its not odd that a bumper was removed.
it is odd that the grille is popped.
search around and learn to remove and replace your front bumper.
takes about 10 minutes once youve done it a few times.

good luck
