I've often wondered about this as well.  How easy is it to track 
someone who can become invisible, apparate, turn into a tiny 
(although fat) rat, etc.  IMHO, I think Peter probably lured Sirius 
precicely so he could frame him.  That way, no one, DEs or Order 
Members, would continue looking for him (Peter).  And I'm sure, 
having known Sirius for so long, that Peter was positive that Sirius' 
confidence in his abilities and shock/anger/pain, etc., would come 
after him with a vengeance.
