Default drilled lock

well someone tried to break into my car today, or it at least seems that way. when i went to open my door i noticed that the lock had been drilled out....i think it might have been more an act of vandalism seeing as that was the only thing wrong with the car.
either way, my question is this. what now? do i have to order a whole new set of locks and keys? can i somehow get a lock that is specifically for my key?
any help wouldbe great. thanks.

You'll have to get a new ignition cylinder and matching key. You should still be able to use the same key for the door locks.

if you call one of your local lock smiths im sure they can get you a "DOOR LOCK CYLINDER" then inform them that you need to get it "RE-KEYED" to match the existing key. then you should be ready to go!
