Dinner for Four / Phoebe Skips - S4-E5
Rhonda: She asked you to do WHAT to my Caprini cardigan?
Lila: Snip the tags out?

Helga: I can't believe I told them the truth, and I wound up washing dishes.
Arnold: Come on, don't you feel better that you did the right thing?
Helga: No, not really.
Arnold: I think you do.
Helga: No, I don't, Arnold.
Arnold: You know Helga, I think what you did is pretty sophisticated.
Helga: Really?

Helga: Oh, just shut up and rinse.
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.
