Locked your keys in the car at a gas station off I-55, a store on US-51 or outside a campus building at Southeastern? Book a car lockout in the Hopper app and track the driver to your spot.
In Hammond's heat, a closed car warms up quickly. Wait in the shade or inside a nearby building, and call 911 instead of waiting if a child or pet is inside.
Downtown Hammond's street parking around Thomas Street and Cate Square is busy on weekends and during events. If you're parallel parked, say so in the app so the driver can plan to work from the curb side.
What to expect
A car lockout service gets you back into your own vehicle when the keys are inside or the key fob won't open the door. Add your vehicle in the app so the driver comes prepared, and be ready to show ID that matches the vehicle once you're in. If a child or pet is locked inside a hot car, call 911 first.
A tip for Hammond drivers
On I-12 and I-55, pull as far onto the shoulder as you can, turn on your hazards and wait away from traffic. Use the next exit if you can still drive safely.
