What does the line "Bangkok has him now" mean?

They were anthropomorphing the city of Bangkok for effect. In other words they were talking about the city as if it was a person. Bangkok has a certain reputation for lawlessness (true or not). So when Teddy was lost in Bangkok, some people thought that he was lost for good and that his friends will never find him again. Bangkok has caught Teddy, and is not going to let him go. Bangkok has him now.
