In the former case, the bust was taken outside before being broken.Holmes knows that Lestrade's theory about a Napoleon-hating lunatic must be wrong.

Mr. Horace Harker found the dead man on his doorstep after investigating a noise. His Napoleon bust was also taken by a burglar entering through a window. It, too, was from the same mould.
