If you live in an apartment and park in a garage on the property does a search warrant for the apartment also cover the car in the garage?

This is America.

in the states, we have what's known as an automobile exception - essentially, cops know they can get away with (in a court/evidence sense) a vehicle search if they have probable cause. whether you're driving it or not.

it kinda sounds like you're anticipating a visit, and looking for a stash spot - your car is the last one i'd use.

Find a buddy who can hide things for awhile, if you are expecting a visit, the best option is, break down your grow and be safe.

the warrant will usually specify that it is for the property and any buildings cars and people on the property
 
When I was in CO I had my dorm searched based on PC (Scale in plain view), they found some stuff & charged me. They were very familiar with my car (It stood out like a sore mb) and were very adamant that as soon as they found it they were impounding & searching it (It was parked off campus at the time). According to my lawyer this would have been an illegal search, he called the piggies for me & informed them of the same. I had no problem after that. Keep in mind this was in MY situation, your mileage will vary, especially with a search warrant involved things might be different. I know for sure that they have to specify all buildings & vehicles on the property, had a friend get some of his charges dismissed because the warrant was only for the house & not the barn out back, this was a mistake on there part & not one they usually make.

If you can't find somewhere else & you have big trees on your property tie that shit in a bundle & then take some rope & hoist it up in a tree. Had a friend who used to always stash his p's in a big 50' oak, cops looked like fools after that warrant, nobody ever looks up in the trees, I think I'm going to fuck around with tree growing this year ;)
