Other mistake: When Homer and Chief Wiggum fall into the waste, in the second shot, the cliff edge looks very weird. It seems to be transparent with Ruth's car floating in mid-air, and there is a big curved wall that doesn't have ground at the top.
Continuity mistake: When we first see the power sander, there is only a white patch on the side. In the next shot when we return to viewing it, "Property of Ned Flanders" has appeared.
Continuity mistake: When Marge and Ruth and shooting cans, there are five on the fence, then, in the next shot, there are only four.
Plot hole: In the car chase, Chief Wiggum says that one of the suspects (Marge) "is wearing a green dress, pearls, and a lot of blue hair." However when we see Marge from the police car all we can see is her hair, so how would he have known about the pearls and dress?
Continuity mistake: When Chief Wiggum and Homer think that the convertible Ruth and Marge are in is a ghost car, they want to hold each other. In this shot, you can see 1 small star out of the backseat of the police car. But in the next shot, from the perspective of the backseat, there is a canyon top where the star would be.
Revealing mistake: When Homer pushes the soda vending machine next to the candy vending machine, a large scratch appears near the upper right corner of the screen.
Suggested correction: This is in the questions as well. With the long amount of time the artists have to make an episode it's very hard that something like this would get by them. It's probably the device you watched it on.
Revealing mistake: When the man with the white helmet and flashlight asks Homer if he's holding on to the can in the vending machine, a large scratch appears near the upper right corner of the screen over the man's helmet.
