Love and Cheese / Weighing Harold - S4-E7
Plot hole: Love and Cheese: This episode takes place at the Cheese Fair. However, the episode "Operation: Ruthless" also takes place at the Cheese Fair, and it is stated in that episode that the Cheese Fair is an annual event. It can't be that this episode takes place a year later, as the series takes place during the same fourth-grade school year.
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.
