The tomb was closed by a large stone and guarded by Roman soldiers, soldiers who would imperil their own lives if they abandoned their post.

Removing the body in such a situation is only easy to do in the fantasies of the atheist true believer.

That is another thing: The gospels disagree on who was guarding.

Mark:
No guard

Matthew:
The Pharisees went to Pilate the day after preparation. Pilate said to them, “You have a guard; go, make it as secure as you know how.” 66 And they went and made the grave secure, and along with the guard they set a seal on the stone

Luke
No guard.

John: No guard

No Roman guards.

Paul’s 1st letter to the Corinthians: No resurrection! apparently that was developed later.
