Grandpa's Packard / Phoebe's Little Problem - S5-E19
Other mistake: Phoebe's Little Problem: When Arnold goes into Phoebe's room to cheer her up, the birdcage is reflected in the mirror on the wall, but the birdcage is too far to the right of the mirror, so it shouldn't be reflected. This error is shown again in a later shot where Phoebe tells Arnold, "And I'm very good at checkers." (00:09:13 - 00:09:45)

Audio problem: Phoebe's Little Problem: When Harold wets his pants at the end, Stinky can be heard saying, "Harold wet his pants," but in the shot, he is actually laughing. (00:11:39)
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.
