Theft deterrent light

Okay, stupid question. I'm headed out for vacation next week, and my truck will not be started or driven for a while. Is it possible that the blinking theft deterrent light could run down the battery? I can't imagine it draining much from the battery, but thought someone may have some feedback.

My truck sits for a week at the time and I've never had a problem.

I've left my truck sit about 15 days and no problem.

I'm fairly sure that the light is an LED ... thus extremely small power consumption. I would imagine it could last for quite a while off of a truck battery.

Thanks everyone. Sounds like I won't have any troubles when I get back in town.

My 03 Screw has been a 3rd vehicle for almost 2 years. If I don't need it, it'll stay parked for over a month at a time with no problems.
