Seems like it should be reported to USPS for starters. USPS says it should be reported within 60 days. Now I know you are not worried about getting a refund of postage, and the contents don't have a retail value. I don't know what "investigations" the USPS might do (little to none?). But if there are ramifications (identity theft?), seems like this would be a good thing for your client if it was done, like filing a police report.
It is my understanding that either the sender or recipient can file the claim.
