How do you feel about the TMNT "saving the world" when they're not crimefighters?

as far as the classic toon is concerned, I think it made sense that the turtles were crime fighters and occassionaly saved the world. Because in that continuity Master Splinter was really hamoto yoshi, and his idea of the foot clan (before Shredder corrupted it) was sort of protection force for people, with the foot ninjas going out on patrol and saving the little guys from petty crimes. So I thought it made sense that the turtles did it, since Yoshi/Splinter made them as his own little foot clan.

Also, the turtles in the OT had more social presence with the people, so I think them trying to show people they where the good guys by fighting crime was understandable.
