I would start by looking at the non-factory mods you have and start by disconnecting those. Then start pulling the fuses on a few options and seeing if the current drops when one of the systems are disabled.

The only way to kill the battery is to wear it out with usage or keep drawing too much power when idle.

Is it true that it drains your battery if you put the key in the lock and leave it there in position 0?

The car is constantly draining the battery, that is why the thing is so huge. It works out that if you drive the car at least once a week you have no problems.
