One way to eliminate the garage door issue would be to park it outside the garage for a night or two and see if the battery still discharges. That would eliminate that potential problem.
More likely causes would be some of the "battery killers" that these modern cars are loaded with. Like headlights that stay on for a few minutes after you park the car. Proximity sensors that sense your approach with a coded key fob and turns on lights as well as other things. Are you sure that those things are turning off when they should?? Are things turning on (or trying to) when they should not? For that matter, what shape is your battery in??? Could it be that one of those convenience "features" is more than the battery can handle???
Bear in mind that there is no voodoo or black magic involved here. Most likely, your battery is weak. Other possibilities are that one of the modules that controls one of those "convenience" functions is not turning things off when it should. Like a heated seat, headlight timer, courtesy light timer, or some other doodad that is drawing current. One thing is sure: unless it is a weak battery, it takes a very substantial drain to draw down a battery overnight.

One of us would sit on the left fender (away from the clutch) and other would sit on the gas tank and hold onto the crankcase breather pipe.
