Model::find($id) returns an empty Model as opposed to null #33
Description
When running Model::find($id) in a Laravel environment, and that the Model with the id $id doesn't exist, the return value is an empty Model instance, as opposed to null when calling a real Eloquent model that doesn't find a record in the database.
I've tried returning null, [], false in the Transport class when a model isn't found, but it is returning the empty model instance for all values.
I'm not sure if this is the expected behavior or not. I didn't appear to find a way of having null instead of the empty model when looking through the code.
dd(User::find(1));
