The material has to be somewhere, but it might not be in that form anymore.

You there, with the missing arms! Unhand them! No wait, not like that!

No. Not all statues were intended to have arms. We are familiar with a bust. It is a statue of just a person's head. Some statues have no arms. To make them look less like amputees they make the arms look like they were just detatched.

I heard that the arms of lots of the armless statues were broken off and stolen, because it’s hard to steal a whole sculpture, but easy to steal the arm.
