Unless they are built in, I don't know of any state that prohibits you from taking your appliances. Its common practice in many areas to leave the appliances with the house when you sell it, but its not required.

Were these appliances installed by you or by the homebuilder?

Theft in foreclosed homes is on the rise, according to a report from NBC's Kerry Sanders, who said that more disgruntled and broke homeowners across the country are selling off appliances and furnishings before the banks make them move. One woman in Miami-Dade County plans to sell every last item in her foreclosed home -- including the stove and toilet -- because she says she needs the money to pay bills. While this activity is illegal, Sanders said that many banks are having a hard time prosecuting offenders. But John Courson, CEO of the Mortgage Bankers Association, said that more cases could soon be prosecuted. "The more prevalent this becomes the more aggressive services are going to have to become to protect the property," Courson said.

in other words: fixtures or the actual structure of the home.

Prosecuting a person is nearly impossible. One cannot steal from ones self and until title transfers, it belongs to the homeowner. The only recourse I can see is the whatever claim the lender has as a loss in the difference between amount owed and the amount realized from the auction.

well, I'm not sure. but even if it is possible, do you incarcerate the criminal at the expense of also incarcerating the victim? or do you let the criminal go because it is not permissible to incarcerate an person not convicted (the victim)? both would be an injustice.

**A: yes, I agree and my other personality also agrees.

so, since there is a dual personality there, does that mean you get to charge twice as many hours when working for a client? (if you haven't thought of this yet, if it works I believe I am entitled to a cut of the new revenue source).

**A: yes of course but my partner always gives a 50% discount. So no cut for you.

All appliance's I bought not to long after I bought the house.I also did installed ceiling fans as well.I ask because I was told by a realtor one time that I couldn't sell my appliance's so I ask.

Ceiling fans and anything permanently installed/attached to the house has to stay. Freely moveable appliances can be taken. For example if you have a microwave built in to your cabinetry/range hood, you have to leave it. If it's just sitting on the counter, you can take it.
