original_bobs = User.where first_name: 'Bob'
# Assume this deletes a Bob:
User.destroy 123
# Now I'd like to see user 123 in this list:

To replicate this in the console I've been suffixing line 1 with ;, to prevent original_bobs being evaluated.
If I do so then I only see the User Load.. SQL after the puts statement, and as expected user 123 is gone (which is what I don't want to see).
