It is unclear if the eviction was legal or not from your question, and many more facts are needed to be able to properly advise you. Under C.R.S. 38-12-510, it is unlawful for a landlord to remove or exclude a tenant from there dwelling without resorting to court process. A landlord has no duty to but may choose to store or maintain your personal property that is removed from the premises during or after the execution of a writ of restitution. The landlord is immune from liability for any loss or damage to the personal property. C.R.S. 13-40-122(3)
Given the nature of situation I would recommend having a conversation with an attorney as soon as possible to understand your rights and if the landlord's actions were proper.
