Help please.. (Found a tortoise)

[DesertGirl]

Yes, definitely check for an owner looking for their baby! But it is also very possible she was let go. Unfortunately, some people tire of their animals and rather than rehome, they simply release them thinking (or not caring), "Hey, it's a wild animal--it'll be fiiiiine..."

And then they’ll be thinking “where’s my food bowl, basking light and blankey?”

Are thinking it was left from the previous owners, or may be escaped from some one who owns him, as I know if I lost my tortoise I would be beside myself until I found him

Looks like a Russian tortoise...I have 3 and they look just like that.
