If you are looking for files that belong to a userID or groupID that is not current in your system try -nouser or -nogroup

For example where userID 57484 does not exist in the system:
Code:
$ chown 57484:root mp.log
$ find . -type f \( -nouser -o -nogroup \) -ls
   397014      4 -rw-r--r--   1  57484    root          360 Mar 24 01:45 ./mp.log

quota

quota(1)						      General Commands Manual							  quota(1)

NAME

       quota - displays disk usage and limits

SYNOPSIS

       quota [-agGuUqv]

       quota [-a] [-g] [groupname] [-qv]

       quota [-a] [-G] [groupID] [-qv]

       quota [-a] [-u] [username] [-qv]

       quota [-a] [-U] [userID] [-qv]

OPTIONS

       Displays  quota information for all mounted file systems: those in the /etc/fstab file and those mounted manually or with automount. The -q
       option takes precedence over the -a option.  When specified without the groupname argument, displays group quotas for groups of	which  you
       are  a member. Displays group quotas for the group when you specify groupname.  When specified without the groupID argument, displays group
       quotas for groups of which you are a member. Displays group quotas for the group when you specify groupID.  Displays only your user  quotas
       (the  default)  when  specified without the username argument.  Displays user quotas for the user when you specify username.  Displays only
       your user quotas (the default) when specified without the userID argument.  Displays user quotas for the  user  when  you  specify  userID.
       Displays  information  only  for  file  systems	that  have  disk quotas and where usage is over quota. Takes precedence over the -v and -a
       options.  Displays quota information for all mounted file systems that are specified in the /etc/fstab file.   Quota  information  is  dis-
       played for each file system whether or not quotas are enabled for it.  The -q option takes precedence over the -v option.

DESCRIPTION

       The quota command displays disk space usage and limits. Disk quotas are displayed as 1 kilobyte blocks.

       By  default, only your user quotas are displayed.  If you use the -g or the -G option without an argument, the quota command displays group
       quotas for groups of which you are a member.

       Unless you use the -v option, the quota command reports only on file systems listed in /etc/fstab that have disk quotas and under which you
       have  files. If quota exits with a status of 1, one or more file systems are over quota.  If quota exits with a status of 2, there are sys-
       tem errors.

NOTES

       The term file system represents either a UFS file system or an AdvFS fileset.

       Do not use both a user and a group option in the same command.

RESTRICTIONS

       You must be the root user to use the optional username or userID argument to view information about another user, or to	use  the  optional
       groupname or groupID argument to view information about a group to which you do not belong.

FILES

       Contains user quotas for each file system.  Contains group quotas for each file system.	Contains file system names and locations.
