Narrative:

Last flight of the day for the flight crew in a hurry to get home. I just came off of another aircraft. The airplane arrived at XA53 with a scheduled departure of XP45 tomorrow morning. I was at the aircraft shortly after arrival and proceeded to service the engines with oil; being that it was an ron aircraft. By the time I was finished and made it up to the jetway; all crew and passenger were long gone yet the aircraft was left completely live. The wing strobes were left on; both electric hydraulic pumps were left on; all window heat was on; the left aft fuel pump was left on; the emergency lights were left armed; cabin utilities were on; the aircraft was on ground power; and the battery was left on. The aircraft was left unattended in this confign by the flight crew.
