Default what should I do to the battery?

I'm going away for few weeks and the car will be sitting in the garage. I'm going to leave it in my grandpa's garage. Should I disconnect the battery before I go away? Or turn the Alarm off? since the battery's going to die anyways.
what is the best way to do it? My grandpa WILL not turn on the car once a week, he's going to just leave it there.

DO NOT leave the battery on cement floor
put it on top of wood or on a stand,

if you leave it on cement the battery will slow drain through the concrete..bad for battery.

your pops cant start up the car atleast once a week? thats messed up. I'd kill the alarm since it will be in a garage.

haha. they are my grand parents.. they don't like cars much. So Should I disconnect both the alarm and the battery? if I disconnect the battery, should I take it out of the car or just remove both pos and neg clips?

IF I just left the car for a few weeks, when the battery dies, would the alarm go crazy when the battery is weak????????

its not good for the battery to be drained completely then jumped or recharged... so leaving it on w/ the alarm until it drains isn't going to be good for it.. just disconnect the battery and put a club or autolock on your car to secure it for now w/o the alarm and add some manual kill switches, you might also want to pull the ECU fuse and hide the fuse somewhere... take away your head units deteachable face and everything.. and make sure your grandparent lock up the garage... so in case someone is "stalking" the car.. they can't get it when your grandparents go out... not sure how long your going to be gone.. but you also might want to put the car up on jack stands so you dont get any flatspots on the tires...
