Helga's Parrot / Chocolate Turtles - S4-E6

Audio problem: When the kids go into room 315 looking for Mr. Simmons, Arnold calls out his name, and his mouth does not move. (00:20:24)
Runaway Float / Partners - S2-E20
Continuity mistake: When Arnold stands up on the bike before jumping onto the parade float, Eugene's hair disappears mid-shot. (00:10:11)
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.
