Well, I'm sorry, but that is his own fault. I would NEVER run a router with no security key! Anyone in range can hook in to an open router. That is just basic router info IMO. But then, if he had the ISP set it up, THEY would have set it with security. So, as I said, have them do it, don't go buy a router yourself.
