It is dependent on the statute of the state in which the perpetrator actually received the contraband, and is usually dependent on the value of the contraband as to whether the charge is a misdemeanor or a felony.

HOWEVER - the fact that the contraband goods were transported inter-state could bring the federal authorities into the case and a federal charge would be a felony offense.

What kind of penalty would you face if you removed built in appliances and fixtures prior to foreclosure?

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.
