The alarm does not use a lot of current in mine, nor in the previous two Roadsters I owned. My cars have always been able to sit for three weeks at a time with no charger on them.
Was he referring to an aftermarket alarm system (a crappy one, apparently)?
Does the car have an aftermarket sound system amplifier?
If not, and the battery is new, then it's time to get a meter out and find out what is sinking all that current.
