Default dead vette.....

alright, first of all, im not with my car right now, im in iraq and its at home , so i wont be able to go out and check anything that you guys may suggest. my dad went to move it for me the other day and it was dead, which has been a frequent occurance over the last couple of months, even though it had a brand new battery put in it recently. he said he took it to his mechanic (which i wasnt aware of until after the fact ) and they told him that the ignition wasn't shutting off all the way, and draining the battery. anyone got any opinions or experience with a problem like this before? its an 85.... thanks in advance!

Ignition isnt shutting off? I would think that it could be a bad relay or ground somewhere in the system.
