NOKW - The Punisher

Here comes the next chapter in our "I'm Okay With, I'm Not Okay With" series (if you don't know what this is, click here for all of the past posts):

Movie:  The Punisher

Basic Plot:  I'm not sure, but I think some dude gets pissed off at John Travolta for killing his entire family and then hunts down and kills Travolta's family in increasingly crazy ways.

I'm Okay With:  The fact that The Punisher is killing up a storm and his former cop buddies are okay with it.  The fact that The Punisher's former cop buddies don't put Travolta behind bars for murdering his entire family.  The fact that I only same this movie once (b/c it is terrible) and the only thing I truly remember from this movie is the next part, so let's just skip to that.

I'm Not Okay With:  The fact that The Punisher sets up an elaborate flaming skull in Travolta's parking lot in the hopes that not only will no one notice him doing it, but also that he will actually get to use it.  Look at thing below, it is massive and quite detailed, so how did no one notice him out there when he was making it? On top of that, he only gets to light it on fire after he somehow lures Travolta outside (after killing every single one of his henchmen) and ties him to a car filled with explosives that blows up and lights his masterpiece on fire.  So, would he have lit that thing up if a stray bullet had caught Travolta in the face while he was inside killing everyone?  I mean, it looks like he took a lot of time to design that thing, it would have been a waste had he not.  But still, it comes back to the point as to how not a single one of the currently dead henchmen (who were guarding Travolta's building like the White House) didn't see The Punisher out in their parking lot when he was obviously spending a lot of time setting that thing up?  Also, how did he even know what it was going to look like after he lit it?  And what if a couple of people left between the time he did set it up and the time he lit it, because I'm pretty sure someone would have and that thing should have a couple holes in it.  I am not okay with that.

"Seriously, that thing is huge and not a single person noticed him setting that thing up?"
