Yours? Oh they are in my pocket.. LOL just kidding. Go to a lock smith with you lock and they can crack it open. Read the lock code and make a key. They best place to keep a spare would be in you wallet. You might lose your keys or lock them in the car but what is the chance you will do that with your wallet at the same time. Hey why dont you just get a new lock. What if someone has your keys? You will be saying "later Ride!!!!"

heres the thing

can you get into your car? if not you need to get in... not too hard to do... then remove your locks, on both doors & hatch, pull your ignition switch... put in new ones.... like redbird said.. u can get new keys made, but.. your ride might go away..... so.... new locks all around (doors & hatch) & A new ignition switch... just incase someone DOES have em & they slimjim your car with the ignition key in hand... have fun with this.. & keep a door key in your wallet, leave an ignition key in the car somewhere(WELL HIDDEN)

If your locksets and ignition are still the originals, call your GM dealer with the VIN and they can cut the keys for you. Its a pretty simple procedure, no need to rip the locks out of the car.
