This guy’s going to have to pay the piper.

A would-be thief wrecked a decades-old New Jersey church organ during a break-in — and now cops are hunting for the culprit, religious leaders said.

Someone slipped into the The First United Methodist Church in Freehold Tuesday and tried to snatch the decorative pipes on the instrument, which has served as an angelic soundtrack to weddings and baptisms for more than 50 years, a pastor at the church said in a Facebook post.

“It appears someone gained access to the sanctuary last night with the intent of stealing pipes from the organ. This led to the collapse of our decorative pipes and damage to our organ,” Rev. Wil Wilson wrote Wednesday. “While the damage is shocking and disturbing, we thank God that no one was injured and nothing was stolen!”

Police are now investigating who’s behind the chord-busting break-in, according to CentralJersey.com.

The church said that none of the pipes, which were ripped from their places and left strewn about the altar, appeared to have been taken.

The celebrated instrument — which has 677 pipes that range from pencil-sized to 1 foot wide — was built by the J.P. Moller Organ Company and dedicated to the house of worship in 1967.

In the Facebook post, Wilson urged congregants to pray for “trustees as they work to fix this issues.”
