Seen a lot of aftermarket electronic add on equipment direct wired and not ignition switch powered kill, or deplete batteries over the years.
Worst one I ever worked with automotive related was an early Audiovox remote start system nobody knew was installed onto the vehicle. The receiver portion was buried in the roof and the power wiring was run down the inside of the driver's side "A" pillar and under the dashboard. A little stub wire antenna was affixed to the rear view mirror behind and could not be seen from the interior of the car.
Owner fought that for quite a spell before dropping it off at my place to finally have it diagnosed and repaired. Took a couple of days as the installation was very good. This would have been highly suspect right out of the gate had the owner known about it but did not, nor had any remotes for it.
It was removed and problem went away.
