Find files, directories that are own by specific user

Is there a way to find files that are own by specific user?

For example: Find all files, directories that are own by user 'bob' on the system.

Thanks

Quick and dirty, which can be modified to your likings:
Code:
ls -n | grep "500"
Where you would replace 500 with the UID.

That is a dirty way.

Enjoy.
