Other mistake: Mugged: When the people are standing outside Sunset Arms waiting for Arnold to come out of the garage, Oskar is coloured incorrectly: he has grey hair, a grey beard, an orange shirt, a light blue jacket, and white shoes. (00:05:12)
School Play - S3-E19
Other mistake: After Helga gets mad at Arnold in the beginning, as Helga says, "What an annoying little smarty pants know-it-all," the lunch lady's body is invisible through the glass on the counter, leaving only her upper half visible. (00:01:12)
Career Day / Hey Harold! - S3-E11
Other mistake: Hey Harold!: When Harold's family is talking about Patty during dinner, as Harold's mother says, "We can show her those adorable baby pictures of you," her left eyelid is not colored in. (00:20:39)
Career Day / Hey Harold! - S3-E11
Other mistake: Hey Harold!: When Harold and Patty are dancing together, as Harold says, "They said I didn't apply myself," Patty blinks twice, and her right eyelid is not colored in. (00:17:00)
Door #16 / Arnold as Cupid - S1-E10
Other mistake: Arnold as Cupid: When Oskar gives Arnold breakfast, besides the fact that the objects move from the left side of the tray to the right between shots, look at the glass of orange juice as Oskar lowers the tray to Arnold. Despite Oskar never rotating the tray around, the glass of orange juice glides itself over to the top left corner of the tray. Very weird. (00:14:34)
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.
