Ok well if someFunction is getting the $id of being asked and the conditions are getting the record where $id = Model.id and Model.user_id = Auth then is that not checking? How is that different than read id then compare the data?
If there is no "match" with id and auth nothing is pulled correct... but just forget the question all together I only added somefunction as a way to represent me getting the $data it was not meant to be picked into parts and turned into a huge deal. Just assume its either getting a record or not, was what it was supposed to be not if auth id record are you using contain caching queries 100 other million possibilities. And I was asking how YOU YOU do it...put a snip of how YOU OR ANYONE OUT THERE DOES IT. That was all. I thought it seemed pretty easy to ask "how do you" I'm not asking if my way is correct as in "I have no clue please show me how to tie my shoes"...im asking let me see how you do it so I can see your way. Nothing to do with functions data records. Code.... how its writted down. Step 1 you do what...step 2 then what......

You have to pull the data from the DB in any case. I don't think it's a big deal to pull it based on Record.id and then check user_id. But, if you'd rather have both conditions in the find() then there's no harm in that either. Which is the *correct* way? I dunno.
