Shredder did own the Turtles without breaking a sweat in The Incredible Shrinking Turtles, it's too bad he couldn't have done that more often.

Zack also managed to track the Turtles directly to their lair, and when Splinter discovers this he mocks his students for being so careless that a mere child was able to do it.
Also in "Michelangelo's Birthday", Rocksteady and Bebop manage to steal tricycles from two little tots, but it was quite a struggle for them before they succeeded.
