if nothing was left on . and the batteries check out fine.. the relay for the heater stick on with a small draw. this would drain the batteries over night!
also the starting system needs a lot of power when starting. so if the batteries are old. its worth replacing them anyways. bad batteries can cause a ton of stupid problems.
hope this helps. keep us posted.
