So, I've just watched this. A liked it a lot but... What was the significance of the last line? Did the car keys also have keys to Dwight's sister's house attached? What were the keys on the doormat at the end? Somebody said that Dwight's postcard could have prevented all the events in the film happening, if it had arrived earlier. Why is this?
I'm assuming that his postcard warned his sister to get out of town. Then again, if that were the case then he should have mentioned this to her as soon as he saw her at the house.
Instead they go get something to eat and it doesn't dawn on him that the kids could be in danger until long into the conversation.

Dwight drops the keys off when he leaves his sister's house with Teddy in the trunk. He locks the door from the outside, then he drops them through the slot.
From what I can read from the postcard the last two lines say :
Please __________
for what _________
which I'm guessing could be :
Please forgive me
for what I've done.
I don't think he was very confident that he would succeed in his revenge mission, but was determined to try, so the postcard could've been a means to let his sister know he was up to something, but not in time for her to do anything about it.
He probably thought he was likely to die in the attempt and would never get a chance to get in touch with her again.
As for the last line, it could've been his intention all along to let his half-brother escape, so he left the keys in there for him to take the car. He just forgot to say that to him in the heat of the moment.
William would've been walking off thinking "What good is the car going to do me? I don't know how to hot wire it. If I walk all the way there and have to walk all the way back again to get the keys, I will blow his head off this time!"
If the postcard could have prevented all the events in the movie, Dwight didn't seem especially upset that Sam hadn't yet received it.
I think of a lot of commenters just like to blow smoke to sound like they know something that really doesn't exist and that no one can refute.
Your last line is so true. There are so many people over thinking everything trying to figure out stuff that simply just happens. *beep* happens.
