key's and door locks

hey guys, i was wondering if i should replace the locks or just take them to a locksmith to get them redone ( or whatever you call it ). my friend tried to enter my car with his porsche key and to my surprise it opened the doors, so now im afraid my car is a easy theft now ( it always was but this is just extreme ). so what would you guys do ?

What does a set of replacement lock cylinders cost?
I had my ignition and the three door locks all rebuilt at a locksmith for $90.

It's a common problem that's really not that difficult to fix. My 87 could be opened and started with a penny...and the key could be taken out with the engine running.

Take the tumblers out and switch them around until they sit flush with the cylinder.
