Hmm, that could be an issue I might have to take a look at that and see too.... As for the neighbor, a little back story. We live in a mobile home park that has on street parking that is first come, first serve. Well, when this guy moved in he claimed the one directly in front of his place as his (which makes sense).
Well, unfortunately there aren't any parking spots in front of ours (end of a cul-de-sac and they marked all the space in front of our places as fire zones so no parking) and I parked in his spot one time.... Instead of coming to ask me to move nicely he threatened to get my truck towed.... And the truck dying started happening not long after that, unfortunately since the hood is easily opened from the exterior the battery would be easily accessed but I don't know if there is anything he could do to drain my battery.
*shrugs* I doubt it, but I will check the ignition thing, that would make a bit of sense actually..... Wonder if that is a common thing, what did you end up checking that let you know that is what you had?
