Back to School / Egg Story - S4-E8
Other mistake: Back to School: After Principal Wartz tells Phil he will find a classroom for him, it cuts to a shot inside Mr. Simmons' classroom. If you look at Sid in this shot, the lower half of his body is cut off. Phoebe's right foot is also layered over him. (00:03:58)
Love and Cheese / Weighing Harold - S4-E7
Other mistake: Love and Cheese: When Arnold and Lila's boat is stuck at the edge of the waterfall, as Lila says, "Arnold, what will we do?" a piece of the boat next to Lila is incorrectly coloured like the background and the seat, so it looks like a hole in the boat. (00:10:14)
Back to School / Egg Story - S4-E8

Dinner for Four / Phoebe Skips - S4-E5
Other mistake: Dinner for Four: When Arnold and Lila are talking to each other in the beginning, Lila says that she hopes to become a famous ballerina one day if she practices hard enough. In this shot, a stripe on her shirt is mistakenly drawn over her gold button. (00:01:26)
Full Moon / Student Teacher - S4-E1
Other mistake: Full Moon: When Arnold tells Sid, Stinky, and Harold that he was given four weeks' detention, Harold tells him to not rat on them. Arnold says he won't tell, and when he walks away, his hair passes right through Sid's head. (00:03:30)
Back to School / Egg Story - S4-E8
Other mistake: Egg Story: When Arnold tells Helga, "I know you don't like me, and frankly, you're not my favorite person either," his mouth disappears twice. (00:14:51)
Grandpa's Sister / Synchronized Swimming - S4-E12

Grandpa's Sister / Synchronized Swimming - S4-E12
Other mistake: Synchronized Swimming: During the swimming tournament, when the boys jump in the pool and it cuts to the crowd, Lila's dress and bows are incorrectly coloured blue, and they stay that colour for the rest of the episode. (00:21:04)
Love and Cheese / Weighing Harold - S4-E7
Other mistake: Love and Cheese: When Arnold and Lila grab each other's arms on the boat, part of Arnold's left arm becomes invisible. (00:10:18)
Grandpa's Sister / Synchronized Swimming - S4-E12

Other mistake: Love and Cheese: When Arnold accidentally kisses Gerald's hand on the bus, his left foot is missing. (00:02:00)
Dinner for Four / Phoebe Skips - S4-E5
Other mistake: When Helga and Phoebe leave the girls' bathroom together near the end, Helga pushes the door outward, but the hinges are on the inside, so it should only open inward.
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.
