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!

That is very good news and very fortunate; someone did not realise the price of a passport on the black market!
As per estebangc' post, he will need to ensure that the original passport is not now recorded as stolen/missing.
I have known of "quotes" of 6 weeks to replace a UK passport; there are a few factors involved I believe, including the inevitable enquiries from officialdom.
