swampyankee is infamous around these parts
My 996 does the same. Battery goes dead 2-3 days
I used a Fluke meter between the neg post and diconneted neg cable set on 10 amps .
found that drain stopped when 7.5 amp fuse in the radio circuit was pulled out and left out. Put fuse back in serious drain returns.

I pulled the fuse in the radio circuit and the drain stopped. Have to leave it out. Car is worthless now

Agreed. You should just send it to me for re-purposing.
