+#### Querying your models
+
+You may use the `findByUuidOrFail` method to try and fetch a model directly:
+
+```php
+<?php
+
+Route::get('/user/{uuid}', function($uuid) {
+    try {
+        return App\User::findByUuidOrFail($uuid);
+    } catch (Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\ModelNotFoundException $e) {
+        abort(404);
+    }
+});
+```
+
+You may also use the `withUuid` and `withUuids` local query scopes with the query builder.
+
+```php
+<?php
+
+Route::get('/user/{uuid}', function($uuid) {
+    $user = App\User::withUuid($uuid)->first();
+    if (! $user) {
+        // Do something else...
+    }
+});
+```
+```php
+<?php
+
+Route::delete('/users', function(Request $request) {
+    // Receive an array of UUIDs
+    $uuids = $request->input('uuids');
+
+    // Try to get the Users
+    $users = App\User::withUuids($uuids)->all();
+    
+    // Handle the delete and return
+    $users->delete();
+});
