title: Get item by ID in Sitecore 6.5
body: <p>I am on Sitecore 6.5.</p>
  
  <p>The below code is working fine but I don't understand how. The <code>GetItem()</code> method has six overload functions where it takes string values as just item paths.</p>
  
  <p>In this case it's taking in an id as a string and correctly returning the item (the location is Sitecore droplink field). Am I missing something?</p>
  
  <pre><code>private Sitecore.Data.Items.Item LocationItem
  {
      get
      {
          return Sitecore.Context.Database.GetItem(Item["Location"]);
      }
  }
  </code></pre>
