Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Florida

my girlfriend and i lived in a apartment community in orlando fl. she also worked as a leasing agent on the property. we went through some personal isues and when i went out of town she moved out and quit her job. she left all of my belongings in the property and took her's. when i got back in town i went to the apartment and was greeted by two maintnance men in our apartment. they told me she moved out and i had to leave the propert because i wasnt on the lease. my girl and i thought i was on the lease because i filled out all the paper work and a criminal and finacial background check was ran. apparently i didnt sign another form to confirm the contract. anyways... i was told that only my girlfriend could remove the property. she was in atlanta and i was stuck in orlando. i had very exspensive home theatre and musical equipment in the property with the value of over $15,000. my girlfriend called numberous times begging management to allow me to get my stuff because she couldnt come back to orlando. management told her that they would hold my property in a storage room for 30 days. i was not with them when they removed my property. i didnt even know they had storage rooms on the property. 4 days before the 30th day came, my girlfriend gets a call from the police dept telling her that the storage room was broken into and thay everything except for clothes and small storage bins were stolen. we called hr and loss managment and raised hell. they appologized and said they would file an insurance claim and everything would be taken care of. 45 days later... my claim was denied. insurance company denied liability. they told me their not responsible for third party liability. pretty much saying the theif is liable. i also found out the property is self insured.
