* TheBusCameBack: He returns in the prequel series as a burglar hired by Jimmy.
* ButtMonkey: Downplayed, but Ira doesn't exactly have the easiest time stealing that Hummel figurine. What ''should'' have been a quick and easy snatch-n'-grab turns into something ''much'' less pleasant when Neff, the guy he was hired to rob, ends up sleeping in his own office because his wife kicked him out. As a result, poor Ira is forced to hide under his desk, listening to him argue with his wife, play self-help tapes ad nauseam, and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking play solitaire in actual solitaire]], with the slowly accumulating hours likely feeling like ''days.''
* HonorAmongThieves: The Hummel figurine he stole at Jimmy's behest ended up selling for a lot more than what Jimmy had estimated. Ira could have pocketed the difference without Jimmy ever knowing or even suspecting, but he still split the take evenly.
* PetTheDog: Splits the take evenly in response to Jimmy's PetTheDog moment of rescuing him.
