The following excerpt is from Wimberly v. Superior Court, 128 Cal.Rptr. 641, 16 Cal.3d 557, 547 P.2d 417 (Cal. 1976):
[16 Cal.3d 570] People v. Dumas, supra, 9 Cal.3d 871, 109 Cal.Rptr. 304, 512 P.2d 1208 also upheld the warrantless search of a car and its trunk. Again, the search was justified on reasonable belief that some part of the vehicle contained stolen bonds. 7
