The penalty for stealing fixtures out of a home that is being foreclosed on varies by state. It can be prosecuted as theft or hindering a secured creditor among other things depending on the state, the circumstances, and possibly the local community within a state, so there is not one answer to this question. You will need to contact a competent lawyer in that jurisdiction if you have already stolen items. If you have not already stolen the items, I recommend that you don't do it. You won't that much for them for one thing. Most people don't want to buy stolen goods. Appliances are often registered with the company for the warranty and they have serial numbers.

The premises should be relatively clean. Many properties that are foreclosed are left in a mess and need to be cleaned out by a professional cleaning service. The service will discard anything left in the house and on the premises. That cost will be added to the costs of the foreclosure. You should do the best you can under the circumstances.
