Error while using JADE and mongoose objects

I'm having problems while rendering a jade template where I'd like to pass an array variable with objects that contains ObjectId (fmor Mongo)

{ name: 'fake',
  slug: 'FAKE',
  address: 'fake',
  city: 'Madrid',
  country: 'Spain',
  _owner: 51f65388f98a405469000003,
  _id: 51f65389f98a405469000007}

This is the representation when doing #{objects}.

This, obviously, leads to an TOKEN ILLEGAL... How can I insert this variables into jade without breaking anything.

It looks like it is due to the missing quotes, you should convert _owner and _id to strings before passing to the template. 

{ 
  name: 'fake',
  slug: 'FAKE',
  address: 'fake',
  city: 'Madrid',
  country: 'Spain',
  _owner: '51f65388f98a405469000003', // convert to string
  _id: '51f65389f98a405469000007'     // convert to string
}

In mongoose, you can do 

obj._owner.toHexString();
obj._id.toHexString();
