Airbag light comes on but car won't start and key fob doesn't work. Intruder caught under hood. What'd he take or do?

I have a 2012 GT and I am currently having that problem. Initially I took it to my mechanic a year ago and he replaced the starter and the battery. Issue continued literally the next day. Battery dead. I had been jump starting it until another person that replaced my a/c compressor said it was my radio and that Shaker systems eventually cause problems. He took out the 20 radio fuse and I have had no problem starting it until I replaced the entire radio, amp and speakers last week. Now that the fuse is back in…. Battery dead and my air conditioner is blowing hot air! So replacing the radio wasn’t my solution either. There is a parasitic drain somewhere and having to get an electrical mechanic to look at it now. I’m frustrated and trending on broke at this point...

@Bad6969BoyI replaced the old radio with a new original stock Ford radio. The brand new apple car play did not work in that car. Then I replaced the battery and Alternator and it fixed the issue.

Battery drains enough for no start in 1hr.
Ford Mustang 2000 Coupe/4.6/manual 198000 miles
Battery drains enough for no start in 1hr. I’ve disconnected negative cable and still battery drains. I don’t have the oem battery harness as I just bought the car and it wasn’t on car. If that’s it I will purchase but don’t want to buy something that doesn’t fix issue. I have some mechanical knowledge but almost none when it comes to electrical components. Thanks in advance
My mach 1 battery drain totally after 1 week
Ford Mustang 2021 Mach 1 23000 miles

I check that no parasitic draining after checking by multimeter the current shows 17 to 22 mA which normal values
What else could makes the battery drain 😓😓😓
