Leaving my phone charger plugged in?
Its a motorolla, and it lights up blue when its plugged in.

Questions is, is it safe to leave in over night and such? Is there any chance that little blue light is going to drain my battery?

The blue LED? no..

Maybe if your phone is plugged into it. Even then I don't think it has enough ***** to suck the battery dry. I left my radar on for like 2 or 3 days and the battery never died.

Not sure if its a LED, but, a small blue light, at best.

most factory alarm systems have a blinking red light...that seems to leave the battery in great condition, even when out of town for weeks....im sure a solid LED will be fine for several days in a row

Your battery should be fine buy why not just unplug it?

And some advice, leaving a wall charger plugged into your wall at home still uses electricity, just a little tip to save some $ on your electrical bill!

All my cars turn everything off when i turn off the car and turn everything on when i start it. It would be annoying to if i had to manually do it.

Uh. How?

As far as your question goes, you wont drain anything. I run my interior LED's strip 24/7 with no problems.
