Can you solve this true crime mystery?

SignOnSanDiego.com > News > Metro -- Bumbling bandit pulls regrettable robbery:
SAN DIEGO – Nothing went right for the bumbling gunman wearing a Ronald Reagan mask and a cape who held up a Grantville bank Tuesday morning....

When he ran out, he found ... his getaway vehicle, a dark-colored Chevy Suburban SUV, was blocked in by delivery trucks making their drops, [San Diego Police Lt.] McKinney said.

Desperate to run, the robber peeled off the mask and rammed the vehicle against the delivery trucks to get away, ticking off one of the delivery truck drivers who started to argue with him, McKinney said.
And then the dye bomb exploded.

So here's the puzzler: Why the cape?
