context: The government continues by underscoring the following facts: (1) that there was evidence that the Cadillac was defendant's only car, (2) that the registration listed one of the two residences that were searched, (3) that the car was present during multiple controlled buys, and (4) that a confidential source advised law enforcement that the car's presence at the properties "meant that Christian was available to sell heroin." (Doc. No. 12 at 56-57.) While these facts support a finding that the vehicle played a meaningful role in the drug activity, they do not support probable cause to believe that drugs would be inside the car.
