Since you're asking my opinion, I don't think there were any disciples to steal anything at all, nor a body for anyone to steal. Nothing about the Jesus story is original and none of it makes any sense for the first century period in which it is set; besides which, as Min already mentioned, the story positively reeks of the second century. Thus, there was no rumour outside of the story - you know, in the real world where real people live and actual things happen.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
