Legally, yes. It is called receiving stolen property. Not technically considered theft as you did not steal it from the rightful owner. Receiving stolen property may not apply, but possession of stolen property would. How are you going to steal it? By breaking and entering? That by itself is a crime.
If it is legally wrong, it should be considered morally wrong as well.
