Clio's Home Alone-fu had definitely been instrumental in the process of catching the thief.  Being physically able to block one of the passes, he didn't have a chance to spot the tripwire and breakable toys until the very last second, which was a part of how he ended up on the ground, skidding towards JD at superspeed, and thankfully with very little blood despite how painful such a landing could be.  It seemed that being able to move wickedly fast didn't necessarily mean he could stop in an instant; it was logical to guess that he needed a warmup to get moving in the first place.
