It can mean:
(1) to surrender something - the thief's mother turned him in - this means she reported him to the authorities or handed him over to the police. Another example, the policeman turned in his badge and gun - means he handed them over - usually when resigning.
(2) It can literally mean to "turn in": when you get to my house, turn in - in other words, drive or walk into my driveway.
(3) It can also be used to mean to go to bed: "I'm tired now, I think I'll turn in".

Your situation sounds EXACTLY like mine. My nice cute kitty suddenly started to get mean about a year ago (she is 5 now). I have no idea why, and have taken this cat to the vet 4 or 5 times and have always asked about this problem. I don't have any children, and noone 'tortures' her, so I understand that this problem can be really frustrating- especially if you have children. It is just me and my boyfriend living here, and I am home plenty- the cat is not neglected or ignored, and she doesn't bite other people. Anyway, the best advice the vet could offer me was this; if there is no 'problem' or major changes at home, the cat probably somehow just picked up a biting habbit. Biting behavior is a learned behavior, and is hard to break. The vet told me the best I can do is to try and distract her at times she is more likely to bite (for me, brushing my teeth, walking up the stairs etc...) by shaking a can with coins or something loud, or by throwing a toy or something. I have tried these things, and nothing has really helped long-term. Only thing that has worked- coincidently, my cat needed a shot of steriods for a little skin infection- the shot worked wonders. It settled her down in general, and she didn't bite at all for about a month. I asked the Vet for another shot months later, because it had helped the biting. He agreed that it could help for a bit (I have no idea why), but that it's not healthy to just give steriod injections. Good Luck

To turn in means you're calling it a day and going to bed for the night.

The phrase 'turn him in' actually means 'report him to the police'. The phrase 'turn him out' means 'leave him', though. Probably just a mistake by the writer.

It means to go to bed. Or if you say Turn him in, it means you give him up to the police.

Well usually when someone say they are going to 'turn in' it means go to bed.

If you turn someone in, you are telling on them - 'turn him in to the police' if you turn in yourself, it can be used in the same context as above, or refer to going to bed.
