You could pull fuses in areas that are suspect - someone had posed this idea with the radio fuse. Until you get it rectified you can get one of those $5 manual battery shutoff switches. They allow you to isolate the power to the battery when parked. I use them on several of my older vehicles during winter storage periods to keep the battery fresh and to prevent any parasitic draw. They are on eBay and some of the local parts stores stock them too. I wish you luck!
And if you a clever and hide the switch for it in the dash somewhere it is a redneck and highly effective anti-theft device
