Maybe something like that, although that doesn't seem to be enough of a draw to kill the battery in a few minutes.

Not at all helpful or related, but this reminded me of one of the best pranks I have ever witnessed. I worked in a warehouse in HS with our own fleet of trucks so we had our own mechanics. The warehouse manager was a grumpy bugger but he was decent to have a beer with. One year for his birthday, the mechanic wired his brake pedal switch to the horn on his VW Beetle. Watching him leave the parking lot with this car honking away every time he hit the brakes had us on the ground laughing. He was simmering at the mechanic, but he also found it pretty damn funny.
