At night, loosen all the soil around the garden except for the spot where you want the stone. Send the wife off to a spa for a few days.
Drop hints to the nosiest neighbour that you've bumped the wife off and that she might be buried in the garden.
When the police come to look for the wife, the obvious place to which they will move the stone will be the undisturbed bit.
When the wife returns, you will be released and the stone will be where you want it.

Nothing, the advantage of having mates who are farmers! It’s a standard JCB telehandler.

Telehandlers with human things more or less attached to the prongs are remarkably flexible bits of kit, albeit somewhat lacking in the health and safety department. Need access to the wall above the lean-to kitchen? Telehandler. Need to lift the new oak truss onto the end of the barn? Telehandler. Need an anchor when you winch the 600 year old timber framed barn back into the vertical? Telehandler. And then there's all the normal lifting things delivered on pallets, shifting aggregate delivered in one ton sacks.I did buy the human ‘thing’ on the pallet a couple of pints though.
