Laws vary by state, but in most states, this would be illegal, and would subject the landlord to civil penalty, probably three months rent for a breach of quiet enjoyment.

But it's not just a violation of the tenancy; it is a violation of the personal property rights of another person. The landlord can be sued for damages including the entire value of the car that was illegally removed, regardless of whose car it is.
