Dave was on the right track. You're wanting to read and write records, so
you need to say so:

tell application "InDesign 2.0.2"
    set myFindPrefs to properties of find preferences
    set theFIle to (choose file name with prompt "Where do you want to store
your Find settings")
    set fileRef to (open for access theFIle with write permission)
    set eof fileRef to 0
    write myFindPrefs to fileRef as record
    close access fileRef
    set findPrefs to read theFIle as record
    return findPrefs
end tell
