Any item that was present at the time of rental or lease signing, if damaged, is to be repaired to the best ability of the tenant, or if repair is not possible, then the landlord is entitled to collect damages. Before the lease was signed, there should have been a "walk through" with the landlord or their appointed agent, and this item should have been removed from the property before the tenant took possession.

No, they most certainly cannot. You would file in civil court to have your belongings returned and they would probably counterclaim for monies owed.

But no, they cannot just take your personal belongings without permission for any reason.

Someone is renting your land after a few years do they have an appeal to your land?
Answer: By renting your land they are acknowledging that you are the owner. There would be no grounds for an adverse claim. Adverse possession arises when a person uses someone else's property without permission of the owner of the property. A landlord and tenant relationship clearly demonstrates that the property was used with the permission of the owner.

Yes, but seek legal counsel on how best to do it. If you don't have the protection of the law, the landlord could steal or destroy any and all of your property that he can. If it isn't the landlord breaking in, the landlord is legally obligated to provide reasonable assitance to help you protect your property.
