Code:
turf
    Lair
        icon='Lair.dmi'

        Lair_Ground
            icon_state="floor"

        Lair_Wall
            density=1
            icon_state="wall"

        Lair_Statue
            density=1
            icon_state="statue"

        Lair_Grass
            icon_state="grass"

    Void
        opacity=1
        icon='Turf.dmi'


        LairPick()
            for(var/turf/Lair/Lair_Statue/S in world)
                if(istype(S,/turf/Lair/Lair_Statue))
                    if(!S.occupied)
                        S.occupied=1
                        src.loc=S.loc
                        break


Problem description:
Even though there are over 40 Lair_Statue in the world, the game keeps spawning me on a Lair_Grass. Wuttafuk?

1. Your istype() check is unnecessary, since it loops through only those types already.
2. You're setting your loc to S.loc, which is an /area since S is a turf. Moving to an area will set you in the bottom-left-most part of the area.

THe istype() was just there since I thought I may have done something wrong in the for(). >.<

Thanks, though, I knew it was something stupid like that.

If you want a random spawn, i believe you could use pick()
