How did 'Jaster' bury the gold w/ a bad heart?


How did Robert Pastorelli's character 'Jaster' bury the gold [alone] in a baseball stadium [at night w/o lights, except the van's headlights] w/ his bad heart?

Also, movie released 4 days shy of a year before 9/11/01 [World Trade Center towers still in skyline...NYC aint the same w/o them]

Most likely with a backhoe. It said he was a heavy machine operator.

The heart condition is not really the unbelievable part.

If that was all there was to it, then we could believe that his exertions that night were partially the cause of his death a day or two later.

But:

1. How does he get into the stadium
2. Why does he think that he or his wife will be able to get easy access to recover
3. How does he replace the ground (and markings) in such a way that no-one notices


On a separate but related note, how come the obsessive lead agent, and the obsessive master criminal don't crack the fairly simple code in the 18 months that they have to work on it.

I don't think Alvin mentioned "there's no place like home" as part of the code. Just "Bronx Zoo." The "home" reference would've made it pretty obvious to Bristol and the agents.
