Abstract: It is shown that for every Polish group $ G$ that is not locally compact there is a continuous action $ a$ of $ G$ on a $ \boldsymbol{\Pi}^1_1$-complete subset $ A$ of a Polish space $ X$ such that $ a$ cannot be extended to any superset of $ A$ in $ X$. This answers a question posed by Becker and Kechris and shows that an earlier theorem of them is optimal in several aspects.
