* Despite them being related to Sly, Carmelita always treated Sly's Ancestors with respect, even when they flirt with her. Makes one wonder where Sly got it from, and how they reacted towards Carmelita's counterparts in their respective eras.

* Here's a meta example: [[http://www.kotaku.com.au/2012/04/a-story-about-sly-cooper-by-mark-serrels-aged-30/ Sanzaru keep special fan mail and pictures sent in on their fridge as mental inspiration]] for ''Thieves in Time''.
* Seeing how far Dimitri has come, both as a friend to the Cooper Gang, and as a person. He was a ruthless antagonist in the second game, but throughout the third game he warms up to them and eventually joins up. By the beginning of ''Thieves in Time'', Sly is freely referring to him as their friend (as opposed to their former frogman, or ally, etc) and entrusts him with the Thievius Raccoonus, also known as ''the physical embodiment of '''his family's legacy'''''. That Sly and company can go to him for help, and that he will freely give it, is just sweet.
* In the finale of the animated short "Timing is Everything," Sly finds himself held by Carmelita at gunpoint, much as he was in the first game. Once again, he manages to get away by kissing her, then slipping away while she's stunned from the liplock. But this time? He leaves her with the priceless antique watch that he'd been trying to steal in the first place -- and that she'd been trying to retrieve after it was stolen by Muggshot. Basically, he gave up all the hard work of the heist just to make her happy. And for all her previous anger at him during the short, the way she smiles once she realizes what he's done shows that, for all her black-and-white outlook on crime, she still appreciates what he did for her.
* A meta one. An official statement from Sucker Punch Productions, the original developers of the Sly franchise, said they were proud of Sanzaru games for creating the 4th game in the franchise.
* Another meta example: Despite claiming on Facebook that they had no plans for another ''Sly Cooper'' game, Sanzaru is still very interested in continuing the series from ''Thieves in Time'', as stated in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fEPvfyDs228&t=9m47s this interview]] at E3 2015.[[note]]Sadly, due to Sanzaru's acquisition by Oculus, this may not be the case anymore.[[/note]]
* In light of Insomniac Games' acquisition by Sony, Sucker Punch made [[https://twitter.com/suckerpunchprod/status/1163583048933183488?s=21 this art]] of Sly and [[Franchise/RatchetAndClank Ratchet]] shaking hands.

** To explain, after Penelope has tried her hardest to pull the van away, Murray states that he'll never leave her [the van] behind again. Panda King is moved at this since if he had that heart and spirit, he would have saved his daughter from being captured and forcibly betrothed, and thus helps Murray get the van back. For this, Murray gives him shotgun for a month.

* Though the newly expanded Cooper Gang ended up dissolving after their grand adventure, the mission wasn't a complete failure, and they ended up going on to do things that truly made them happy.
** For starters, Sly left his gang a back door to the remaining treasure of the cooper vault "worth millions", so they all got a decent cut from the journey.
** Then there's Bentley narrating how they're all doing, starting with Murray getting some quality time with his recovered van.
** He and Penelope are now partners in crime, working together in love and brains on various projects. Plus, with Sly in "retirement", Bentley is now the keeper of the Thievius Racoonus.
** Dimitri left do do exotic diving missions.
** The Panda King retired to the mountains along with his daughter Jing, making sure to be careful with her next suitor.
** The Guru took on some celebrity disciples and they work in the peace of New York.
** And though he's lying through his teeth, Sly finally gets some normal time with Carmelita with his amnesia just getting to know her.

* Carmelita has a slight one: Despite wanting to get Cooper and his gang, she's shown to be caring when she captures Murray. She keeps an eye on him, apologizes for the cramped cage, and even goes out to give the hungry hippo some jelly beans.
** This motion was apparently not forgotten by Murray, who, in the third level of Thieves in Time, asks Bentley where she is because he's starting to miss her. Maybe the two are unrelated, but it's still sweet regardless.

* Out of all the villains in ''Thieves in Time'', Ms. Decibel gets the happiest ending. Sure, she's in jail, but decides to turn her life around by getting that trumpet removed and learning to control her anger with a high chance of having parole for good behavior. After the huge KickTheDog moment Le Paradox gave to her, it's nice that she's going to get on the right path.

** A downplayed moment prior to this is when Muggshot refuses to fight Bentley, due to Bentley being in a wheelchair, as it wouldn't feel right to do so. If nothing else, he does have a small amount of honor, as he refused to fight a handicapped person -- at least until Bentley insulted his mother.

* After defeating a Mask of Dark Earth-possessed Carmelita, who then collapses unconscious once the mask is removed, Sly and the gang watch over her until she recovers. That's right, instead of fleeing from her like most criminals, this gang of thieves looked after the one person that had sworn to capture them, in order to make sure that she was safe.

* The Grizz also gets a somewhat happy ending. Despite being in prison, he turns to art and singing.

Added DiffLines:

* While he gets arrested, Octavio does get something of a happy ending, as he ends up finding a good chunk of his fan base -- they'd simply had been at the very prison he himself ended up at, and they are happy to hear him live and in person.
