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)

Dinner for Four / Phoebe Skips - S4-E5

Dinner for Four / Phoebe Skips - S4-E5

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
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)

Grandpa's Sister / Synchronized Swimming - S4-E12
Other mistake: Synchronized Swimming: Right before the boys jump into the pool during the swimming tournament, Gerald's right eye seems to have lost its color. Right when Sid jumps into the pool, his eye is white again. (00:20:52)
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)
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.
