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).
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.
