Selenium WebDriver findelement stuck java?

I am writing a very simple test case using selenium webdriver. Lets say I have

@Test
public void github_search() {
    this.webDriver.get("http://www.github.com");

    WebElement findBox = this.webDriver.findElement(By.id("qa"));

......
}

in this test, there is no element on the page with id of "qa", in this case I am excepting the findElement method to throw an exception. But it doesn't. Selenium actually appears to be stuck. Only thing I could do is manually close the browser. I was wondering how to handle such situation where if the element doesn't exist then it waits for some time and, finally it should just throw an exception.

Use try catch Block and use implicit wait.
