Locks are there to keep honest people out. Any lock can be opened given time

I'd say they are meant for dumb dishonest people (and most dishonest people happen to be dumb luckily). Honest people don't need a lock to keep them out of property that isn't theirs.

So what about if we stop time? That'll keep everyone out of my car.

They also serve as a social signal. If you unlock something with a key, you are assumed to be the owner of it by bystanders. If you bust out a lock picking-kit and start going to town, you are assumed to be committing a crime by bystanders.
