We show that a tame ended stratied space X is the interior of a compact stratied space if and only if a K-theoretic obstruction (X) vanishes. The obstruction (X) is a localization of Quinn's mapping cylinder neighborhood obstruction. The main results are Theorem 1.6 and Theorem 1.7 below. In particular, this explains when a G-manifold is the interior of a compact G-manifold with boundary. Our methods include a new transversality theorem, Corollary 1.17.
