The aluminum foil cap is a liner in my regular cap. I didn't take it off so they couldn't have seen it, so there!

Did some checking. The manager is a former manager of another auto-supply house. I know who'z the present manager and think I can guess why the guy left (or was asked to leave?).

Current draw with the key off is a constant 10 mA, with a surge of 30 mA every 30 minutes. So tell me how long an 800 Ahr battery will normally last with that kind of draw. I'll bet it's longer than 2 days with a full charge (which the @#$ thing did have).
I'm actually guessing about the 10 mA thingy, it's probably less than that. Just too lazy to look it up. It's a timing circuit by the way. The 30 mA draw is for a total of 1.15 seconds.
