More than just caused by a govt vehicle. The claimant must show a preponderance of evidence that the government is negligent or failed to act in a prudent manner to prevent the loss. In the case of a hit and run there is not enough available information to determine negligence by the government or anyone else for that matter.
If the damage had occurred close to a secure facility there may be a camera pointed in the area? I would expect the MPs to track that down because, a crime has been committed when the party responsible for the property loss departed the area. You can also determine if the MPs have done a thorough enough investigation?
If your VERY confident that the loss was caused by a military member or DOD employee in the performance of their duties you can ask your elected federal representative to ask the Garrison or unit responsible why an AR 15-6 investigation has not been initiated. The IG can also perform a simliar function.
