Meteor: Finding an object from a collection by _id

I am trying to find an object by _id with Meteor. Here is what I have tried: ``` Meteor.publish("gifts", function(gid) { console.log("Looking for "+ gid); var gifts = Gifts.find({_id: gid}).fetch(); console.log("Result: " + gifts); return gifts; }); ``` This is the output: Looking for f1790caa-7a10-4af5-a01c-e80bb2c2fd55 Result: If I take out the query: ``` Meteor.publish("gifts", function(gid) { console.log("Looking for "+ gid); var gifts = Gifts.find().fetch()[1]; console.log("Result:" + gifts._id); return gifts; }); ``` The object is in the array, and the _id is the same as above. Looking for f1790caa-7a10-4af5-a01c-e80bb2c2fd55 Result: f1790caa-7a10-4af5-a01c-e80bb2c2fd55 Also, if I execute the find in a mongo console, I find the object: ``` > db.gifts.find({_id: 'f1790caa-7a10-4af5-a01c-e80bb2c2fd55'}); { "name" : "A new gift", "_id" : "f1790caa-7a10-4af5-a01c-e80bb2c2fd55" } ``` What am I doing wrong?
