coincer

J'avais ma tenue dans le coffre et j'ai pensé que si je les coinçais, la police serait reconnaissante.
I had my outfit in the car, and I thought if I nailed the robbers I could work up some points with the cops.
Et au cours des six derniers mois, je les coinçais dans le couloir pour leur demander une question un peu naïve mais fondamentale : « Si vous aviez des ressources illimitées, quelle est la chose unique que vous accorderiez à vos patients ?
And over the course of six months, I would corner them in the hallway and ask them a sort of naive but fundamental question: "If you had unlimited resources, what's the one thing you would give your patients?"
