Unexpected behaviour of hasOwnProperty

I'm writing a function which checks if an object contains keys like 'id' or 'serif:id'. Unfortunately this doesn't work properly.

function returnIdPreferSerifId(object) {
    if (object.hasOwnProperty('serif:id' === true)) {
        return object['serif:id'];
    } else if (object.hasOwnProperty('id' === true)) {
        return object.id;
    } else {
        console.log(object)
        console.log(object.hasOwnProperty('serif:id' === true))
        console.log(object.hasOwnProperty('id' === true))
        throw `ID not found in Layer 1!`;
    }
}

The test object is:

{ 
  id: 'ska',
  d: 'M255.848,145.321l19.839,0.054l12.677,8.62l6.085,-8.62l-8.62,-29.41l-30.488,13.637l0.507,15.719Z',
  style: 'fill:rgb(187,222,251);stroke:white;stroke-width:1.33px;' 
}

I expect the function to return 'ska' as it is the objects id. Instead the console shows

false
false

path\to\module\modules\svgHandler.js:135
        throw `ID not found in Layer 1!`;
        ^
ID not found in Layer 1!

Thanks for your help in advance!
