if it was under any other situations, i would say someone is trying to steal a car and is afraid to blow the stereo if they pull the battery to stop the alarm

You shouldn't blow any fuse when you hook the negative terminal back in place.

If you want to do a test to see if your alarm is draining your battery, just remove the fuse(s) from the alarm harness. In the Clifford case, the fuses are near the battery (two 20 amps and one 5 amps in some cases). Usually Clifford provides with black selfcovered fuse holders with black wiring. Look for them at no more than 12" from the battery. Everything given the installer performed the install by the manufacturer installation manual.

P.S.: Be aware of power locks unoperative from remote while alarm is disabled.
