Passing NULL Objects

Hello everyone.  I have the following:

//Perform a search for the account number
public BankAccount searchAccounts (Vector<BankAccount> bankAccounts , long accountNumber){
int accNum=0;
for(int x=0;x<bankAccounts.size();x++){
if(bankAccounts.elementAt(x) == accountNumber){
return ?? //I want to return the object that matches from the Vector to the calling function
else
return ?? //How do I return a NULL object (The reason is that I can test for it in the returning function)
}


So...returning null objects.  Any thoughts?  :-)
