    I really love this show and this is one reason
    Why I love it and that all cases that seem
    Unsolvable should never, ever, be left out in the cold if you know what I mean.
    When a stockbroker is murdered in the greed of the late 1980's, his car is stolen but this murder may not be involving his car but something else. Like jealousy!

    This is apparently one of the least-liked episodes of Cold Case thus far. I was almost going to skip it myself, but I hunkered down and watched it. I was surprised that it was one of the better episodes of the first season.

    The characters in the case are fleshed out pretty well. You have the victim, who is a complete bastard, and you have the killer, who the viewer sympathizes with. It isn't a cookie-cutter scenario. In fact, the killer's motive made sense - it isn't just 'I'm in rage, sudden kill' deal that a lot of Cold Case episodes resort to.

    All in all, this is worth watching.moreless
