Sounds like something is on and draining the battery. Check the obvious first, interior lights are often the culprit. Make sure they all go off when you shut the car down and lock it. After that scan for trouble codes. Some electronic malfunction may be draining power and might show up as a fault code. After that inspect wiring carefully for a possible wire that's pinched or rubbed through and may be grounding slightly.
