AttributeError: 'Thief' object has no attribute 'name'

I feel as though a lot of steps have been skipped prior to this video. I launched the workspace and followed along,

I am now getting an error:

return "{} : {}".format(self.__class__.__name__, self.name)

AttributeError: 'Thief' object has no attribute 'name'
