if somethng is drawing power while the cars off, you could narrow your search down by hooking up a volt meter to your battery and start puling fuses. when you pull the correct fuse you will see a change on your meter because its no longer drawing power

I once had this happen to my truck . turns out a screw was in the cigarette lighter grounding out/sparking... draining my battery.
could be somthing like that or a glove box light staying on... well you get the idea
