My sulcata tortoise was left outside over night and is lost

Now she is lost! We left her in an enclosed area in our veggie garden for the evening so she can catch a bit of sun. We forgot she was outside until the next morning. She wasn't in the enclosed area! Not sure how she got out but my main concern is I wonder if a bird or other predator got her. We spent all morning looking in our good size backyard which is enclosed by concrete walls and a wooden door. She is about a year old. I'm worried we may have lost her for good.
