"to grab"

"to grab"
 

Does anyone know how to say "to grab" in Spanish according to what is customary in Mexico? This would be in the context of "you should grab him before he gets away". For example saying this to a girl at a party about a guy she has had her eyes on all not.

I know that "coger" is NOT appropriate in Mexico unless it is about something sexual :eek: but IS appropriate in some other countries such as "grab a bus".

Thanks.
