Tenants didn't give us the mail until almost two years later

Wondering if anyone else have experienced this issue and how to deal with it.
We asked the tenants to give us the mail.  They never contacted us. Now they are moving out they give us a bag of mail. there is an expired check and a bill that went to collection. I had a fee of $525. additionally, the two attorney letters that was sent were not given to me.
Can I get any of this loss from them? I probably will not do anything. But just wondering.

Thanks,

Sorry friend, but this isn't their responsibility as a tenant. It's your responsibility to get your mail forwarded/update your addresses on your accounts.

Lets flip the shoes for a minute. Tenant moves out and kindly asks you to look out for his mail. You agree but misplace something or forget something. Would you pay any fees related the missing mail? I don't think you'd want that.
