<i> From Times Staff and Wire Service Reports </i>
A 78-year-old Romanian man who had wandered away from home Sunday was found unharmed near the Mall of Orange this morning.
A man who had seen a television report on the disappearance of Alexandru Varzaru from his Tustin home looked out his window a few minutes later and spotted an elderly man who looked confused and matched the description, Orange Police Sgt. Bob Gustafson said.
Gustafson said Varzaru, who does not speak English, fell asleep in the police car while waiting for family members to come pick him up, but seemed in good health.
