First, how long does it usually take to steal twenty thousand dollars?
Stealing 20 thousand yuan will be sentenced to imprisonment of not more than three years. The specific circumstances of sentencing need to see whether there are circumstances such as surrender, meritorious service, recidivism, criminal record, confession and repentance, return of stolen goods, and understanding of the victim.

The specific sentencing needs to be judged by the judge according to the specific situation.
However, if violent means are used to resist in the process of theft, it will be transformed into robbery, and its legal punishment will become more than three years. Therefore, stealing 20,000 yuan, if identified as robbery, will be sentenced to more than three years in prison.
