using find within if RC always 0?

I am trying to use find within an if statement.
Problem is, even though my find returns nothing, the RC is 0 and continues.
Intent - check the log of a weekly job for successful completion. If complete, carry on. If not, tell me and exit. Suggestions?
I have tried the following:

Code:
if find /var/opt/logdir/* -mtime -7 -exec grep "completes" {} \;
        then
        crontab -l > /tmp/root_cron.$DATE
        crontab -l | sed '/\/usr\/local\/bin\/job/s!^!#!' > /tmp/root_cron.new
        crontab /tmp/root_cron.new
        else
        echo "copy job did not complete"
        exit 0
fi

Results from command line:

Code:
 
$ find /var/opt/logdir/* -mtime -7 -exec grep "completes" {} \;
$ echo $?
$ 0
$ find /var/opt/logdir/* -mtime -7
$ echo $?
$ 0
$ find /var/opt/logdir/*
/var/opt/logdir/job.log.Mon
/var/opt/logdir/job.log.Tue
/var/opt/logdir/job.log.Wed
