I am really sorry to read about this happening to you. You have a delicate situation - 1st of all I work in a shipping company and I shipped 2 personal vehicles a couple of months ago from the Caribbean to the US.
All companies that ship vehicles, the first thing they tell you is REMOVE ALL personal belongings from the vehicle. I have no idea how they charged you extra $350 for you to be able to ship personal stuff inside the vehicle when this is not allowed BY ANY company offering vehicle shipment services. Check this link from one of the biggest vehicle shipping service company in the US.
The least they can do is reimburse you your $350 but I sadly believe the stuff you lost is lost forever UNLESS you had purchased additional insurance on your part to cover these items before shipping and provided a detail of these belongings to the insurer. Otherwise... ;o(
