If it has file access permissions it can scan for wallet.dat in a few likely locations and then simply upload that file to a server, then delete the original and you're pretty sure that you'll have time enough to register a transaction with the bitcoin network.

bitcoins were not stolen from a local wallet, rather they were withdrawn from his mtgox account to the thief's address.

Ah, yes of course a mtgox balance would be at risk as well. I'd definitely check to see if my wallet had not been ripped as well.

OK thank you. So is the wallet.dat related to MtGox at all or is it just a standard bitcoin wallet file used by the standard clients?

It's a Bitcoin concept. It's where your actual bitcoins are stored.
