The type of tomb was described in the Gospels, and the guarding of he tomb was documented in the Gospels. The penalty for a Roman soldier who allowed the object he was guarding to be taken illegitimately was death

Particularly since "sealing" the tomb literally meant placing a wax seal bearing the emblem of the Roman Empire on the entrance to the tomb. Moving stone = breaking seal = high treason. Resurrection is a capital offense. No wonder the guards were eager to spread the falsehood that the disciples had stolen the body.

Resurrection is a capital offense.

Yeah, but ya just can't keep a good man down, baby! He's risen.

Perhaps a slightly poor choice of words? Maybe referring to disinternment or disturbing the body of the deceased?....
