Ok .. I figured it out now guys. Sorry for the hassle.
returning the object is fine, but if you don't assign another variable
with it after the function call it doesn't presist.
So what I did was (after the function declaration in the code):
if ($_GET['item']) $newitem = show_item($_GET['item']);
and then just use $newitem->property to output.
