Landlord cleared out personal belongings

If this happened to me, I would want that landlord to never be renting a property to anybody ever again. Sadly the law doesn't yet provide for that.

we are thinking about how to handle this and all the advice is guiding us in what do do next
The landlord had absolutely NO right to do that whatsoever, not in any law book. The rent was paid, he knew what was going on, the end date hadn't been reached yet. He shouldn't have turned the key in the door without notifying you in writing 24 hours before.
He had NO rights. None.
It was illegal.
But what you are ignoring is... Now what? The goods are gone. The OP can't prove any value or provide any inventory. The circumstances suggest that value is unlikely to have been anything but minimal.3
