Continuity mistake: When Arnold is sitting in the kitchen with Dino's personal stuff, Grandpa offers him a shrimp cocktail, and Arnold turns his head to look at it. In the next shot, he is suddenly looking inside the box. (00:06:45)
Audio problem: When Arnold says, "It's almost like Dino left his whole life in my hands," as Grandpa responds with, "Not his whole life," his mouth doesn't move until the word "life." (00:06:58)
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.
