Full Moon / Student Teacher - S4-E1
Revealing mistake: Full Moon: When Harold tells Arnold, "Remember when I said you didn't have any guts because you wouldn't moon Principal Wartz?" his mouth briefly disappears. This is easier to see in slow motion but is still visible at normal speed. (00:11:16)

Big Gino / Jamie O. In Love - S4-E2
Continuity mistake: During "Jamie O. in Love," in the very last scene, Jamie drives up in a car whose front license plate reads "Killer." When they leave, the back license plate reads "Killr." There is no space for a letter to have possibly fallen out (not that a letter can fall off of a license plate).
The Beeper Queen / Oskar Can't Read? - S4-E4

Other mistake: Dinner for Four: When Arnold and Lila are talking to each other in the beginning, Lila says that she hopes to become a famous ballerina one day if she practices hard enough. In this shot, the stripe on her shirt is incorrectly layered over her gold button. (00:01:26)
Answer: The episode doesn't really elaborate on who the kid was and what his motives were, so its pure speculation as to why he took it. Perhaps the kid could simply want a ball all for himself and decided to just take it, or was simply a rotten kid. The truth is the kid's motives are not important to the story other than it highlights Arnold was having a lot of trouble getting through the list.
