If you filed for Chapter 7 Bankruptcy or Chapter 13 Bankruptcy, the automatic stay should have prevented any further actions of Foreclosure. If you did not file Bankruptcy then this is just a foreclosure and eviction. Eviction laws can be different from state to state, you should contact an attorney in your state ASAP. Generally in an eviction the Sheriff will have a company remove your belongings and store them for a certain amount of time, you must pay fees associated with the removal to obtain your property. If you are in a Chapter 7 Bankruptcy and Trustee allowed lender to move forward with foreclosure and you have 150 thousand in trucks and tools, that may just be what the Trustee is liquidating from your estate. Your Bankruptcy Lawyer should have that information for you if you are in Bankruptcy.
I have responded to your inquiry according to the laws of Massachusetts, where I practice. Laws can vary significantly from state to state and cases tend to be rather fact-specific, so you are best served by consulting with a knowledgeable attorney in weighing your options.
