I have several Norwegian acquaintances and it's the same over there outside of the big cities. You would never do it in Oslo because there are too many tourists and immigrants, but in the smaller towns you could leave your purse at the bus stop and it would be there the next day untouched
Can confirm, am from tiny norwegian town in northern Norway, and we didn't even lock our doors in that town. We'd be a dozen strong pack of kids playing in the forests around our neighborhoods, occasionally popping into one of the houses and getting some snacks from whatever adult was there (either a parent of one of us, or an uncle/aunt, etc).
