Thieves in Oslo, Norway?

I came to Oslo, Norway today with few other colleagues. An incident voided my presumption that Norway is such a peaceful country.
We arrived at hotel and waiting in the reception checking the room reservations. Seven of us kept all our bags aside and a bit relaxing till check-in procedure is done. One of my colleagues noticed that his bag with the laptop, passport and other documents is missing. At first we did not believe that the bag was stolen. But soon we realized that another bag also missing with the same content. There were only 5-6 people at the reception area other than 7 of us. However they must be very clever and expericend thieves to escape avoiding 14 eyes looking at the bags.
