The article doesn't say that happened, though. It just says "My brother got his iPhone stolen at gunpoint." If the victim had been made to hand over his password, that's a very very huge detail the blogger did not include.
I had my phone stolen from me at Pride in SF and went through a lot of the same steps. The thieves yanked the SIM immediately. I was able to follow the phone as it hopped onto public wifi networks (mostly at stores) that I had joined before. it finally wound up in Shenzhen, China.
