Battery keeps draining and garage can't figure out what's wrong. Any ideas?

I have a friend with a Honda CR-V. It has been to the garage twice, to no avail, for repeated battery draining. I wondered if you had any advice or knowledge of any common causes for this vehicle.

I'd recommend a process of elimination. Start by switching off the usual culprits for battery drain (interior lights, radio, exterior lights) to see if you can isolate the faulty item.
