We see him attack the security guy and he obviously won since he has the watch, but I can't imagine the guy wouldn't remember Bloom or the car he was in, not to mention any investigator could find out the stuff was sold to the company he was bartering with later...
shareI wish I knew what the fuck happened there. I was confused from the first scene of this movie.
shareI just assumed he beat him unconscious, took back his ID, stole the watch and left. The guard didn’t seem to have taken any notes of his license plate and no cameras so Lou left no trace other than some tire marks and bruises to the guard. The sale of the goods seemed to be the same night so they wouldn’t have worked that fast and altogether you have way too much trust in the police to solve an assault and/or robbery.
