Is there a better way to test for a custom Object in an array of custom Objects?

	// `id` is a custom Object and `Actor.getTips()` is an array of `id`s
	Actor.prototype.hasTipped = function(id) {
	return new RegExp(id.toString())
	.test(this.getTips().toString());
	}

	/*
	* Specifically, these are MongoDB ObjectIDs from the node-mongodb-native repository.
	* Actor.getTips().indexOf(id) does not work because `===` returns false on, say,
	* Actor.getTips()[0] === id.
