The find(1) man page would have answered your question.

Had you read it, you would have discovered that FreeBSD's find does not support query by uid, but can report files owned by a specific userid, or, files owned by no userid (where the uid does not have a match in /etc/passwd).

People, please read man pages.

Hope it helps.
