In the meantime the Police have found his bag with the bike keys and his passport! So he's back to Mendoza to collect it and hopefully can still use the passport as he never sent off any paperwork to the UK passport office or informed the UK authorities its stolen....fingers crossed!

Congrats , but confirm it with the Embassy, just in case they took note of the theft or something.
Why? Never ever use a passport/ID that you reported to have been lost/stolen, even if you find it in a drawer at home. You may try to cross a border with it and be stopped by the officials because it was in the system via Interpol. I know of a case, not fun.
(Needless to say, never ever "loose" your passport in order to have a 2nd one; just find the right procedures to obtain the 2nd one, feasible).
