Ghost antenna

Hey all,
I've got an odd one...

Facts.
-I've got a very slow drain, like a week drains off the battery.
-Yesterday was nice weather and I opened/closed the sunroof.
-3rd brake light bulb just blew.
-Trunk light intermittent.
-Trunk leaks in.

Fiction.
-This morning, my antenna, which I've not used in years, was in the up position. Last night, it wasn't.
(Don't read anything into it, this isn't some euphemism or anything ... )

Can anyone guess what happened?

Yup, but neither the antenna nor the sunroof get continuous power, so short between what?
The trunk light and the antenna?
