"Are broken" means that's the current state of the chairs themselves. The chairs are currently broken.
"Was stolen" means that was the action that happened in the past. The money was stolen sometime in the past.
You could reverse these roles easily enough:
"Some of the chairs were broken in a fight yesterday." (now it's describing an action in the past)
"Some of the money is missing." (now it's describing that currently there is money missing)
