Abstract: Let $G$ be an infinite discrete group and let $underlineEG$ be a classifying space for proper actions of $G$. Every $G$-equivariant vector bundle over $underlineEG$ gives rise to a compatible collection of representations of the finite subgroups of $G$. We give the first examples of groups $G$ with a cocompact classifying space for proper actions $underlineEG$ admitting a compatible collection of representations of the finite subgroups of $G$ that does not come from a $G$-equivariant (virtual) vector bundle over $underlineEG$. This implies that the Atiyah-Hirzeburch spectral sequence computing the $G$-equivariant topological $K$-theory of $underlineEG$ has non-zero differentials. On the other hand, we show that for right angled Coxeter groups this spectral sequence always collapes at the second page and compute the $K$-theory of the classifying space of a right angled Coxeter group.
