Question about one scene.

Hi, in this film, after, MINOR SPOILERS... those gypsies kill that "mook" "kid" and vandalize his car, how come...

After that post man with the van delivers a package (which later turns out to be a rifle) to Ginelli in that caravan, the post man does not even REMOTELY notice a strange looking and vandalized vehicle right near him with the dead man inside?

How come only Billy and later Richie noticed it? Did the car appear and disappear somewhat supernaturally?

Or was the postman not very well sighted or just too busy too notice something so strange and unusual and bat his eye?

I thought about this too. I came to the conclusion that the driver was on the mob's payroll and knew what he was delivering and to whom. He just looked the other way similar to the drivers who got carjacked in Goodfellas and were in on it.

In any case I liked the detail due to the surreal quality it adds to the rest of the movie.
