I was just evicted from my rented Missouri property. I lost most of my property. Do I have any rights?

My landlord filed a judgment against me for rent. I paid rent owed before the court date but still owed late fees. I didnt think I needed to go to court and I had called the landlords attorney on 3 seperate occasions without a response. I didnt go to court and later received a notice of a judgment against me. My fault for not going to court anyway. Fast forward about 40 days and I got home 2 days ago after work(6pm) and there was a notice from the Sherriff that I was being evicted the next day at 11am. I called my landord with no response. I called her again the following morning with no answer/no response. I had a meeting first thing and when I got out of my meeting at 10am I had 2 messages from the sherriff thay they were removing my property and thay I needed to get out there with a moving truck. I got there 2 hours later and everyone was gone as were most of my property. Most of the property left was damaged or destoryed. Do I have any rights here? Or is this just how it works?
