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

An alternative process could be to evaluate a collection instead. So,

$modelCollection = Model::where('id', $id)->get();
if(!$modelCollection->isEmpty()) {
    doActions();
}

I agree it isn't as elegant, a one-liner or as case specific as you or I might like, but aside from writing a try catch statement every time, it's a nice alternative.
