Somehow, when you rent a car you are expected to return it in good shape. This however was theft not rent, I guess laws don’t apply to the goobermint under an illegal President.

Turns out that when the government takes it it is, as it were, 'a taking'. The Constitution says the gub'm'nt can't take property without just compensation, so sovereign immunity doesn't count.

Dollars to doughnuts the guy hasn't found a lawyer yet who is familiar with FEDERAL TAKINGS ~ and probably thinks he has to do this under the Federal Tort Claims Act ~ but that only applies when it's not "a taking" ~ so even the lawyers on the government's side probably haven't got a clue either.

Short of kidnapping a federal judge, there are a whole lot of workable solutions. First, a letter to Eric Holder demanding payment for his truck and third party damages for killing his driver.

That's your basis for going to federal district court. USPS has some lawyers who specialize in third party damages ~ might call their General Counsel and ask to talk to a fellow or gal with experience in this sort of thing. They'll probably give him a referral.

The guy who did the first, last and only ever federal eminent domain action in USPS history may still work there as well. It is rare for the federales to get into takings.
