Laravel : Handle findOrFail( ) on Fail

Question

I am looking for something which can be like findOrDo(). Like do this when data not found. Something could be like

Model::findOrDo($id,function(){
   return \"Da

Another option is to modify the default Laravel Exception Handler, found in app/Exceptions/Handler.php on the render() function I made this change:

public function render($request, Exception $e)
{
    if(get_class($e) == "Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\ModelNotFoundException") {
        return (new Response('Model not found', 400));
    }
    return parent::render($request, $e);
}

That way instead of getting a 500, I send back a 400 with a custom message without having to do a try catch on every single findOrFail()
