Let X oG be the crossed product groupoid of a locally compact group G acting on a locally compact space X. For any X oG-algebra A we show that a natural forgetful map from the topological K-theory K top (X o G;A) of the groupoid X o G with coe-cients in A to the topological K-theory K top (G;A )o f Gwith coe-cients in A is an isomorphism. We then discuss several interesting consequences of this result for the Baum{Connes conjecture. Mathematics Subject Classiflcation (2000). 19K35, 19KXX, 46L80 (Primary), 22D15, 22A22 (Secondary).
