Question: How does the mob (from the past), know exactly when a Looper has let his target run? A Looper wouldn't turn himself in, so how does the mob know almost instantly when a target hasn't been killed?

Looper (2012)
Answer: If you watch the movie he only saves half the bars. you see there are 4 bars on the body, but he only turns in 2.
Answer: But Joe doesn't cash in, he stacks up all his money.
Answer: I saw no indication that the mob knew "almost instantly". The whole day had passed before they came looking for Seth. What likely triggers their suspicions is the Looper failing to show up to turn his bars in for cash.
