Nobody noticed a parked car in a Walmart parking lot, out of the 100- 500 cars parked there depending on the time of day? WEIRD! Seriously though, lots of people live in Walmart parking lots, for months at a time, possibly longer... why would they notice this particular car?

Even at 24 hour stores, traffic decreases to a trickle late at night / early AM. At 4AM the lot would be pretty empty!
Maybe I am strange, but for example, on my walk to work I noticed a bike. The next day it was missing a wheel. A week or two later it was missing the other wheel. Over time it was stripped bare to the frame. finally 4-6 weeks after that the bike was finally removed by the city. I thought about calling, but in my experience the city didn't bother sweeping these bikes, and that was normal behavior. City workers were stationed across the street and clearly did nothing.
For me, I seeing the same thing over a long period of time in the same place feels suspicious. It is surprising to me no one who is in that vicinity regularly noticed something amiss.
The security that patrols the parking lot? An average customer isn't there frequently enough to notice. A worker possibly is.
It is totally suspicious that a car doesn't move over time. I notice when the same car is parked in the same spot on my block.
I assume they had someone patrolling during the day and night.
You're assuming there's security that patrols the parking lot. Many big box stores don't have security patrolling the parking lot. None of the Walmarts in my area do. Lowe's doesn't. Wegmans doesn't. Somehow these places are all fine.
You notice the same car parked in the same spot on your block because you see it every day. Have you looked inside it to see if someone died in it? No! Typically, employees park in the same spot or next to it every day. I know because I've done this along with numerous co-workers when I worked at big box stores, restaurants, office buildings, and the mall.

Regardless, no one is there twenty-four hours a day. Some people park in the same spots every day. If I come into work and park in my spot around 8 AM everyday, and I see the same car parked there before and after I leave, how do I know that it isn't just someone coming in before and after me? If I'm a security guard working 12-7, how do I know it's not a random, overnight manager/supervisor/etc. parking there, night after night?
And I am like you---HOWEVER, parking lots are a different story. Yes, I go outside and I notice the old red pick-up truck and I know when she hasn't moved her car in awhile and that she only moves it for alternate side. There are lots of cars that I recognize in and around my area. Heck, I will even recognize certain cars that seem to drive in traffic with me almost everyday. A random, unassuming vehicle that looks like tons of other vehicles in a parking lot that I'm not in all of the time? I can't say that I would recognize that, especially if I'm not parking in the same area of the parking lot everyday. (Heck, I work night shift and I don't even park in the same location every night even though there are way less of us.) Walmart also has a lot of part-time employees, so it's not like they're all there, day-after-day either.
Extreme selfishness is the norm of society. Along with the destruction of the family unit.
