One comment I really liked pointed out how Peter ultimately ended up getting Neal for something he did early on. They weren't able to pin any of his later crimes on him, presumably because he was so good.
I think Peter was likely fixated on the bond forgeries as it was the crime that put Neal on Peter's radar. Although, it was Neal's first big con, he would have also been sloppier in it's execution and he admits selling the bonds when he did was a calculated risk. And given Neal was acquitted of stealing the Raphael, it seems, as time progressed, he was becoming harder and harder to apprehend.
