The same reason people leave calling cards at robberies in movies, or gangsters paint their gang symbol in tv shows. To show they've been there, and act as a warning to others who may want to go looking for them.

It's an intimidation tactic basically; you build up stories of how strong your bandit group is, leave the calling card so people know it's you, and they're less likely to fight back or protest when you roll into town and demand their livelihoods. It makes it easier for the bandits in the long run.
