I would definately post some found ads around the neighborhood. just don't say what kind of tortoise it is (might want to post pictures just to make sure it's a Hermanns). There have been plenty of thefts lately in the UK, so could even be one that was stolen and the people that stole him/her had no idea how to house it/them outside and it escaped.
There is a national register for the stolen tortoises (I'll see if I can find it).
