find() and findOne() not working in browser console w/ MeteorJS

In my browser console Posts works, but I get errors with legitimate _id values with find() or findOne():

Posts.findOne({_id: 5FSZhpYDcq4XWkTva})

VM10024:2 Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected identifier
    at Object.InjectedScript._evaluateOn (<anonymous>:895:140)
    at Object.InjectedScript._evaluateAndWrap (<anonymous>:828:34)
    at Object.InjectedScript.evaluate (<anonymous>:694:21)

I couldn't recreate that exact error, but I noticed you don't have quotes around the _id you are searching for.

So instead of this:

Posts.findOne({_id: 5FSZhpYDcq4XWkTva})

try:

Posts.findOne({_id: '5FSZhpYDcq4XWkTva'})
