Other mistake: Buses, Bikes and Subways: When Helga and Harold are running to catch the bus, as Harold says, "Ow, quit pulling my arm," Helga is frozen at the right side of the screen for a second before she starts moving.

Stuck in a Tree / Rhonda Goes Broke - S5-E10
Other mistake: Stuck in a Tree: In Arnold's imagination, when the gang passes the huge tree on the conveyor belt, notice how huge Sid is compared to Rhonda. It looks as if Sid was meant to be in front of Rhonda, but was instead improperly layered behind her. (00:07:43)

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.
